TheCall of Dutyaccount has already posted two “stories” — updates that can be seen by all followers and aren’t subject to disappearing after the initial viewing. The first, embedded in thistweet, is a video that says “listen only to the sound of my voice,” and mostly shows a forest. The second is more involved, as thistweetcaptures.
