Let's create a story.  

I start by typing a sentence, then someone else continues the story by typing another sentence, and so on.  You can make the story as imaginative and wierd as you like, but you can only type one sentence at a time.  

So are you sitting comfortably?  Then let us begin.     




I went to the shop this morning, to buy a newspaper.

[Fruit Pie Jones]

When I arrived, I discovered to my dismay that every last newspaper had already been bought.

[Eagle of Fire]

Taking time for a quick glance around me, I noticed that nobody else was reading or carying a newspaper either.

[Sean]

I left the shop, a little disgruntled.

[Frodo]

I sat down, and thought about what to do next.

[_r.u.s.s.]

then i stood up and, all of a sudden, started dancing french polka

[Frodo]

Many people stopped and stared.

[A. J. Raffles]

I instantly felt intensely embarassed, stopped dancing and pretended that nothing had happened (which isn't easy when there are half a dozen people staring at you).

[_r.u.s.s.]

so after realizing how embarrassing it was and that half a dozen people stare at you, thought "what the hell" and started dancing again

[A. J. Raffles]

Unfortunately this time I tripped, sprained my ankle and fell flat on my face - alas, this meant no more dancing.

[_r.u.s.s.]

i was so depressed that i walked to a nearest bridge and attempted to commit a suicide

[A. J. Raffles]

I succeeded.
The End.

Seriously, why can story-telling threads never seem to last for more than five posts without someone trying to make the story unreel completely? It may seem like a funny thing to do at the time, but ultimately it just ruins the game. I don't see the bloody point in it.

[Frodo]

Okay, let's try again.



I was at my friend's house, watching a film.

i actually thought that somebody would be clever enough to oppose the post. i dunno, "but the bridge was 1 meter tall". the story could grow you know. it's more fun like that. not that everybody had to post in the same manner

anyways

then electrecity got shut down and everywhere there was silence

I wondered the very same russ... Well, even AJ can't be perfect all the time. And she kind of has a point, these usually end before really starting, but I believe it is because those willing to take part are separated into three categories: those who want to make a real story; those who want to make a joke of it; and those who can continue it no matter where it goes. first two ones get bored to it if it doesn't go the way they like it, and as the last is the rarest, it requires a lot more population than us five active ones.

Anyways, as I bothered posting here, let's continue it:
My friend rushed to find a flashlight, because he was afraid of the dark.
