The Guardian desafió a veintiún escritores conocidos a ensayar relatos que pudieran expresarse en un tweet, es decir, sin pasar de cuarenta caracteres. Transcribimos el resultado de dicho reto:

Polusión



Ante la asombrosa y notoria coloración de los gases que expedía un camión de transporte público sobre la avenida Magdalena, paralela a Insurgentes, en lo que creo es la Colonia del Valle de la Ciudad de México, decidí tomar video del mismo, para mi sorpresa, al comenzar de nuevo el arranque del autobus dejó de expedirlos en las cantidades "industriales" que lo venía haciendo, sin embargo lo que resultó sigue siendo criticable. Interrumpí al estar cerca de chocar por el lado derecho por andar de "cortometrista".
