Naked bodies with thick muscles outlined in sweat orbit my scrawny frame. I dress fast so I can exit the school’s vile gym locker room.

This twenty-five word story, published in Nanoism , is the shortest story I’ve written. Nanoism publishes stories that are 140 characters, the old Twitter tweet length, or shorter. When originally published, Get Me Out of Here didn’t have a title or subtitle.
