Twitter Plays, part CLII

It’s Twitter Plays CLII! This week’s assignment was: write a 1-tweet play that takes place in the OLD WEST.

Here are your plays starting with @EvermirePlays and a flashback to the lawless cola wars of the 1980s.

@EvermirePlays:

@jadeshade:

@katemickere:
Manifest Destiny, the only drag queen in the West, enters. She dances, causing everyone on the Oregon Trail to die of typhoid fever.

@MarekKrawczyk:
(Old saloon owner stands over the corpse of a dead gunman.) “There ain’t a hashtag profound enough for this moment.”

@Mickieszoo:
Stranger comes to town. Saloon showoff challenges gunfight. Stranger gets saloon girl, horse and leaves town in the dust

@SteveMielczarek:
“Jesse James don’t rob women,” Crow Girl said. “He don’t rob preachers neither.” Looking at me, she cocked her gun…

@lobsterbird:
A Native American walks out on the stage. Looks out in the distance for 70 seconds. Lights fade slowly to dark. The sound of rain. 

@CarleighWorld:
Cowboy 1: What’s the difference between a 10gallon hat and a chamber pot? Cowboy 2: I don’t know. What? Cowboy 1: So you’re the one

And that… is our ender for this week.
