The Story-Telling Thread

PWeb should write a story! Rules are you can only contribute one sentence per post, and no double posting.


Once upon a time.

Psst... "Once upon a time" is a sentence fragment, not a sentence.

(Okay, I feel kind of bad. I've corrected you two posts in a row. I promise I'm not out to get you!)
There's another home somewhere,
There's another glimpse of sky...
There's another way to lean
into the wind, unafraid.
There's another life out there...

Starlooker beheld the game, but he did not play, and the others were very sad.

only, he is a she.
you snooze, you lose
well I have snozzed and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
so fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting
and I can
hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant

And that is how this story became almost like the Crying Game, but in reverse, and with one of the characters not even pretending to be the opposite sex.

And then the macho macho men of the IRA showed up and took Mich hostage for reminding them of how uncomfortable The Crying Game made them feel.
So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

Then Thomas returned from eating a delicious mud pie and wondered what the crying game was, and if this story should be told in the game room and not the town square.

Mich cried out from the Irish basement that there are rules, but no one follows them because you aren't supposed to talk about them.

Thomas just sat and wondered how such a lovely story got off to such a strange start.

On the other hand, Nick was sitting in his corner, wild eyes staring off into the distance, as he was muttering something about robo-mecha-Winston Churchill; It was commonly accepted that Nick was what happened when you stared too long into the void.
The Makeout Hobo is real, and does indeed travel around the country in his van and make out with ladies... If you meet him, it is customary to greet him with a shot of whiskey and a high five (if you are a dude) or passionate makeouts (if you are a lady).

The void looked back.
