First, Twitter is dying because it can't sustain growth to satisfy its shareholders or curb its growing abuse problem. Second, digital entities are coming to life, and the harbinger of Twitter's demise is approaching. The Fail Whale is massive, he’s lonely—and he could be Christie's only chance for escape.If only Twitter would stop fingering (blaming) everybody except itself for its failures.This 4000-word short story contains explicit human-on-digital-mascot action. Socially mature audiences only. Haters will be blocked and reported.The Digital Desires series tells a longer story, but each short story also stands on its own.
