I don’t know if it’s perfect, but this one actually rings true:
Loud-mouthed bar owner must convince mayor to ditch an alien fugitive before invaders come to exterminate him and all “contaminated” humans. And there’s beer.
I couldn’t get it down to Twitter-level (140 characters) without taking out the beer. To hell with it.
You could drop the Loud-mouthed or fugitive to get this to twitter length and keep the beer! =)
Ah, but without the loud mouth, it’s just “Bar owner must convince mayor to ditch an alien fugitive before invaders come to exterminate him and all “contaminated” humans. And there’s beer,” and that misses the flavor of the story.
And without “fugitive” you get “Loud-mouthed bar owner must convince mayor to ditch an alien before invaders come to exterminate him and all “contaminated” humans. And there’s beer,” and you’re like, “Why would the aliens bother?”
Here’s 140 characters. It loses you eleoquence, but . . . .
Loud-mouth barkeep must talk mayor into ditching alien fugitive before invaders come to kill all the “contaminated” humans. And there’s beer
Loud-mouthed barkeep must talk mayor out of hiding alien fugitive before hunters find alien and kill everyone around. And there’s beer.
???
I have the advantage of knowing the story.
Thanks 🙂
