15-word Never-ending story (game)

harold posted on Jun 27, 2007 at 02:59AM
So, in the spirit of other forum games played on this site, here's an old one: the Never-ending story! The rules of this game are simple:

1) No profanity (this is covered by the fanpop policy, too)
2) Each poster submits a post of EXACTLY fifteen words - no more, no less - continuing the story from where it left off from the previous poster.
3) A given user may not continue the story from his/her own posting (in other words: TAKE TURNS).

Clarifications:
The number of sentences is not limited (except the theoretical maximum of fifteen, since you can't have a sentence with less than 1 word). You may finish a post without finishing a sentence. You must continue the sentence of the previous poster if it was not finished in their post. You may choose to continue the thread and/or tone of the previous post or end it quickly and move on to a different character/location, etc. (realize, though, that other posters will likely return if you attempt to derail the story in this fashion).

I'll begin in the first reply to this message.
