Tweet Me A Story 2011
The first round of the 2011 “Tweet me a Story” writing contest from NYCmidnight was tonight. Entrants were assigned a word at 7 p.m. and had 5 hours to come up with up to 3 stories, under 140 characters each, including that word in proper usage.

In bed with her that night, feelings overwhelmed him as sensations overtook him. Words, however, did not fail him. "Incredible."
