Writing a Novel/Short Story on Twitter?!

Hello yall! Hope everyone is well. I wanted to share with you a link to my Twitter- where I am trying to write a novel/short-story using Twitter. I thought about this for a while (3-5 years), but a few days decided to take the plunge. I would love your criticism or just simple thoughts on the flow and the like. Thanks!:) https://twitter.com/misterethoughts

We could do something similar here actually.
Let's make it happen! Let's focus on prelude to Buddha?
Once upon a time there was a boy who looking at those taller than him, the adults as they called themselves, saw that all was not right with the world of man....
If you're going to tell a story, then tell the story and save the preaching for later.
One day the Dairy Lama was cleaning out a freezer cabinet in Tesco when he came across a mysterious package.....
... Otherwise unlabeled, the package bore the simple words, "This one is for you."
The writing was in ink, and the writer had obviously used either a fountain pen, or even a quill...
What do you mean?
@LeonBasin -- I was referring to this:
and to add to the story...
Who knows how long the package had gone unnoticed there below the boxes of Fordhook Lima Beans? The harder the Dairy Lama tried to remember, the less sure he became. And who, any longer, had a fountain pen, much less used a quill?
...The finger, having writ, moved on.....
Hmm, interesting. Thanks for sharing!
The package was wrapped in thick brown paper and tied up with string. It felt like there was a box inside, and something rattled when the Dairy Lama gently shook it....
The Dairy Lama became aware that a small child had approached, and was standing next to him, looking up into his face with a quizzical look...
"What have you done with all the ice-cream?" she said.
"Ah" replied the Dairy Lama, mysteriously, "That's for me to know, and for you to find out!"
For all his wise appearance, however, he had no clue what had happened to all the Ice cream.....
The Dairy Lama had come into work that morning, and as usual he'd started with a stock-check of the ice-cream freezer compartment, keen to ensure that his precious Neapolitan had not sold out. But to his surprise the ice-cream freezer was completely empty, and there at the bottom was the mysterious package. Feeling slightly panicky he'd rushed to check with the other staff on duty, but nobody knew anything about it.
So where had the ice-cream gone, and what was in the mysterious package?
As the Dairy Lama carefully opened the package he found a ransom note with a picture of all the ice cream slowly melting...The note demanding "ONE MILLION DOLLARS!" :and it was signed "Lactose Intolerant"
The Dairy Lama assumed the ransom note was a joke by another member of staff, as the value of the missing ice-cream was less than £100. But the box inside the package was much more worrying.....
