TODAY'S CHALLENGE - WRITE A MICRO-STORY

USING TWITTER-LIKE RESTRICTIONS OF 140 characters see if you can concentrate on writing a Short Story in the style of Leo Beach who wrote:

THE STORM came over the ridge, a rocket, dropped rain like bees, filled the corral with water and noise. I watched lightning hit the apple tree and thought: "Fritters!" as we packed sandbags against the flood. There was nowhere to go that wasn't wet, the squall had punched a hole in the cabin roof and the barn was knee-high in mud. We'll bury Jess later, when the river recedes, before the ground turns hard again.
