translated to plain English
would have scorched my ears

Today's #projects reminiscence:
The ideas for 130 Story flew together neatly on a train journey in 2013.
Twitter at that time had a 140 character limit, #130Story with a space was 10 characters, and this left 130 to play with.
Every day, at 1:30pm I'd post a prompt word and players would respond with a story.
I ran it manually for a year, before building an automated word picker, and used Twitter API to collect the stories into an archive website: https://www.130story.com/
