"[Luke], I am your father." That infamous Star Wars line is a prime example of how a well-crafted plot twist can breathe new life into any story.
We've been thinking about plot twists this month in Mashable's social book club MashableReads, as we read James McBride's The Good Lord Bird. As readers follow Little Onion, a slave who is rescued (or kidnapped, depending on who you ask) from slavery by John Brown, The Good Lord Bird shocks readers with a variety of plot twists, including the fact that Little Onion is a boy who is posing as a girl to survive.
Inspired by the book's surprises, we asked Mashable readers to write Twitter
short stories that shocked us with a plot twist. Submissions ranged
from quippy puns to terrifying horror stories. Check out the winners and
runners-up, below: Read the rest HERE
