The challenge is to write a story in 140 characters or less. Ready?
Ye olde Sleepy Hollow feared the 7th hour, the very moment the headless schoolmaster returned for his lost head. Better safe than sorry.

Yes, better safe than sorry. Enjoyed the tie in to the old tale. I think you're right, the microfictions are all going to be very different this round! :>

Great sense of foreboding. I want more.

Ah, great fun. Headless anything is good in fiction :-)
wow...I like this...the way you weaved an old tale into yours...maybe nearly Headless Nick can give him some tips. :)
Great story! I'm not sure I could get a whole story in with so few words. Awesome!
...even if it is Johnny Depp returning? :)
Best to keep the shades pulled and peek out from behind. But then, what harm can a man without a head do?
Very fun interpretation!
