@ElliottHolt's #TwitterFiction Story

Was it a suicide? A homicide? Or an accident? Read and decide....

  1. On November 28 at 10:13 pm EST a woman identified as Miranda Brown, 44, of Brooklyn, fell to her death from the roof of a Manhattan hotel.
  2. Investigators are trying to determine whether Ms. Brown's death was an accident or if, as some speculate, she was pushed off that roof.
  3. At the time of her death, Ms. Brown was at a party. No one witnessed her fall, but three guests were tweeting from the party all evening.
  4. None of the tweeting guests appear to have known Ms. Brown, but all observed her at various times in the 2 hours leading up to her death.
  5. In an effort to reconstruct the night's events, investigators are analyzing the twitter feeds of those three party guests.
  6. The 3 tweeting guests were: 1) @margotburnham, 31, a public relations executive whose firm was hosting the party at which Ms. Brown died.
  7. 2) @simonsmithmilla, 44, of London, who was on the guest list because as he put it, "he knows people."
  8. And 3) @elsajohanssen, 26, a self-described "Swedish fashion designer" though she is an American citizen who was born in San Francisco.
  9. What follows, in chronological order, are all the tweets sent from that party, which began at 7:30 pm EST...
  10. ...and concluded when police arrived on the scene at 10:17 pm EST. Was Ms. Brown's death a #homicide, a #suicide, or an #accident?
  11. Then tweet your verdict (tonight or tomorrow) using the appropriate hashtag: (#homicide #suicide or #accident) & #twitterfiction
  12. tonight's party for my bf's cookbook is going to be off the hook!
  13. Had a drink at the Soho House, now en route to a party for a chef I've never heard of. Sasha says we have to make an appearance.
  14. Taste test: the chef's special cocktail is divine.
  15. Sasha is late, of course. Whenever I'm in New York, I'm waiting for her.
  16. New York rooftop in November: not the most practical place to throw a party. I'm told they'll be heat lamps.
  17. There will be heat lamps, that is. Can't bloody type on this thing.
