      Prologue

      How can you tell a story on twitter?

      This was the question everyone asked, when Project pen and Inches Social Media first thought of the idea for Twitter Stories during the Holy Month of Ramadan, in August 2012. Even the people who liked the idea argued that whatever we ended up with, it wouldn’t be a story.

      But what is a story? At project pen we believe that stories takes many shapes and forms. A story can be scratched on cave walls, spoken out of the camp fire, painted on a canvas or even tweeted. For us, a story is anything that awakens the imagination.

      The Twitter Stories campaign lasted twenty-five days. During that time new kinds of writers, and a new kind of readership, were discovered. Thousands of stories were received, of which only a small selection are included here.

      The stories are divided into six categories: Stories of Love, Innocence, Fantasy, Journey, Self-Discovery & Stories in Cyberspace.

      We will leave it to the reader to consider their literary worth.

      Inside these pages you will find the work of a new generation of storytellers, based in the Kingdom of Jordan, and from all around the Middle East.

      The stories represent the first and largest collection of Arabic-English ‘tiny stories’ ever made.

      This anthology is evidence of the creativity that exists in this part of the world - a place where fiction publishing has long been dead, and imagination has long been under siege.

      Keep Writing,

      مقدمة

      كيف يمكننا كتابة قصة على تويتر؟

      كان ذلك هو السؤال الذي وجهه إلينا الجميع عندما فكرنا لأول مرة -نحن فريق مشروع قلم وإنشز لحلول الشبكات الاجتماعية- في إطلاق مسابقة قصص تويترية خلال شهر رمضان الماضي الذي وافق آب/أغسطس 2012.

      حتى أولئك الأشخاص الذين أعجبوا بالفكرة قادهم التفكير في الموضوع إلى خلاصة مفادها ولكنها لن تكون قصة!.

      ولكن؛ ما هو تعريف القصة؟. نؤمن نحن فريق مشروع قلم بأن القصص تتخذ أشكالا وهيئات متعددة فيمكن أن ترسم قصة على حائط كهف أو تُحكى حول نارمشتعلة في ليلة باردة. قد تطرز القصة على قماشة أو تُغرّد على تويتر. إن مفهوم القصة لدينا يتلخص في أي شيء قد يوقظ في النفس ملكة الخيال.

      استمرت مسابقة قصص تويترية لمدة 25 يومًا حيث اكتشفنا خلالها نوعا جديدا من الكتاب والقراءة أيضا. وصلتنا آلاف القصص مغردة على تويتر إلا أن مجموعة صغيرة منها قد وجدت طريقها إلى النشر في هذا الكتاب.

      قسمت القصص في هذا الكتاب إلى 6 تصنيفات وهي: قصص الحب والبراءة والفانتازيا إضافة إلى قصص الفضاء الإلكتروني واكتشاف الذات وقصص على الطريق ونترك للقارئ تقدير القيمة الأدبية لهذه الأعمال.

      يحمل هذا الكتاب بين طياته أعمال جيل جديد من رواة القصص المقيمين في الأردن وأماكن أخرى في الشرق الأوسط.

      تمثل هذه القصص أول حالة من نوعها في فن رواية القصص المصغّرة باللغتين العربية والإنجليزية وهي الأكبر أيضا في هذا المجال.

      إن هذه القصص دليل واضح على الإبداع الموجود في هذا الجزء من العالم وهو مكان احتاج فيه الخيال إلى أن ينفض عنه غبار الإهمال الذي سببه زمن طويل من الحصار.

      استمروا في كتابة القصص
