Review: Othar's Twitter, again

Well, the exploits of Othar Tryggvassen, Gentleman Adventurer ("It says that on my cards -- if I wasn't, I'd have to get new cards printed") continue on his Twitter account. At the moment, he's attempting to stop a train full of monsters from rolling into Paris and wreaking havoc:

      Wait! There's one place we haven't searched, the secret car at the end of the train. Uh-oh, the controls to reveal it have been smashed. This is unnerving. I KNOW there's a train car there, but it appears that I must step out into empty space while going 60 klicks an hour.
      No. This just doesn't feel right. Hero instincts. You learn to listen to them. I grab a brakeman's pole and poke. No train car within reach. The car is uncoupled, but still connected by brake cables & chain (by the feel of it). This is a pathetic attempt to kill me. Exhilarating! If this is the best they can do then this should be a cake walk! I easily scramble across the cable and burst in the door.
      Ah. A trap. Oops.
      They counted on my having a false sense of security for cracking a weak trap, and thus walked into a much better trap. Ah, hindsight.

Things look pretty black for our hero (Silver Medal, Oslo Tech Debate Team). Will he stop the train, destroy the monsters, and earn the admiration of the beautiful Professor? Only time will tell ...
