Rough draft of Micah in Norway

Here is a short excerpt from the upcoming short story called Micah in Norway. It is also a tentative title.  Most of the story is told in under 140 character segments with hastags straight from Twitter.  That was how the whole story came together anyways.

Micah in Norway

This adventurous story began with ominous messages.

Micahleaverton: Yikes folks

Micahleaverton: Oh man oh man oh man. #yikes

Micaheleaverton: They all look so dead

These messages didn’t go unnoticed.

ChuckByTheMin: @Micahleaverton you alright man!? #worried #goodorbad

And Micah was quick to downplay the scenario.

Micahleaverton: @ChuckByTheMin, I'm good man, thanks for your concern! Just an interesting situation. I'll tell you later.

However, some saw the truth.
PapaJFash: @Micahleaverton Micah Man! Are you visiting some kind of post apocalyptic Norway? Your tweets are leading me to believe so. #confunded

Maxmillz23: News report shows @Micahleaverton is in an apocalyptic Norway. #prayforhim #ifitwasuptomicah
Maxmillz23: @Micahleaverton revision: post apocalyptic Norway

As reports of Micah’s well-being flooded in, survival seemed a daunting task.

Maxmillz23: Micah update: he is surviving post apocalyptic Norway despite having to eat only mashed potatoes for two days.
Maxmillz23: Micah update: he has the eye of the tiger on his ipod on repeat to stay focused. #goodluckmicah
Maxmillz23: Micah update: he has stumbled upon a pile of candy bars. They appear to all be butterfingers. Post apocalyptic Norway and butterfingers

Maxmillz23: Micah update: not actually a pile of butterfingers, just a hay stack. Micah has begun to hallucinate. #Norway

The conditions took their toll on the young protagonist.

ChuckByTheMin : #ifitwasuptomicah that hay would be a heap of butterfingers

His preparations were flawed.

PapaJFash: @maxmillz23 Does @Micahleaverton know that the bear he's trying to capture isn't crucial to refueling the plane? #norway #heswastingtime

Micahleaverton: @PapaJFash, I'm starving! Besides, if I keep my adrenaline up I'll stay warmer. It's freezing. #norway
Micahleaverton: These jean shorts are cold. #norway
