Read on Twitter
In fall of 2019 I wrote a short story that was rejected by a lot of publications for good reason. (It was structured as a JSON object. Treacherous for any sane person to read and infer the story).
After my nth rejection I reconfigured it as an experiment of tweets that play automatically, in real-time, across 25 hours, on an account dedicated to it, once a year. A week after it plays out, I will delete the tweets, and the account goes dormant again until the next year.
The story is called âWarm Winds May Comeâ and is an update of the Bradbury classic âThere Will Come Soft Rains.â Refresher:

Both stories begin on 04 Aug. The narrator of the story is the narrow #AI that runs a rich personâs house. The tweets go out to the long-dead owner.
In a few hours the first inaugural playback of that story will happen. Itâs built on a creaky connection of @Zapier to @googlecalendar to @Twitter. I actually have no idea if it will work. But I think it will. I hope it will.
If youâre interested in reading the experimental story, keep an eye on the account: https://twitter.com/warmwinds2026 And let me know what you think.
