And of course, the name of the giant is Goliath and the name of the shepherd boy is David, and the reason that story has obsessed me over the course of writing my book is that everything I thought I knew about that story turned out to be wrong.

So David, in that story, is supposed to be the underdog, right?

The short story, for example, people are saying that the short story is experiencing a renaissance of sorts thanks to e-readers, digital marketplaces.

One writer, Hugh Howey, experimented with short stories on Amazon by releasing one very short story called "Wool."

And he actually says that he didn't intend for "Wool" to become a series, but that the audience loved the first story so much they demanded more, and so he gave them more.

It started with the one short story, and I think the experimentation actually became a part of Howey's format.

This is a short story by the author Jennifer Egan called "Black Box."

Every night, at 8 p.m., you could tune in to a short story from The New Yorker's fiction account.

The experience of Egan's story, of course, like anything on Twitter, there were multiple ways to experience it.

Another great example of fiction and the short story on Twitter, Elliott Holt is an author who wrote a story called "Evidence."

One reviewer called Elliott's story "Twitter fiction done right," because she did.
