Add a Sentence Story II

[Beezer]

Old Mr. Stetson closed the drapes and checked the upstairs cupboard for candles...as the storm was about to hit.

 

[MarkinPhx]

Sadly Old Mr. Stetson suddenly realized that he had nothing to light the candles with since he had quit smoking three months earlier.

 

[Blessed]

Where there is a will there is a way, he went out turned on the gas barbecue grill, dipped a stick into the flames, let there be light.

 

[Beezer]

The old man gingerly cupped his hand around the flame and headed for the patio entrance door as the winds began to howl.

 

[MarkinPhx]

As the wind howled,the old man noticed his widowed neighbor Mrs. Gordon out on the street shaking in fear.

 

[Bella]

The old man called out to Mrs. Gorden to come over. She quickly ran across the street and followed him inside.

 

[Beezer]

With a crack of lightning, the whole house went dark leaving the old man and Mrs. Gorden face to face shimmering in the light of the candle between them.

 

[Blessed]

He was concerned about her returning to a dark home, gathered candles, made sure she had matches at home, walked her home and made sure she was safe for the night.

[Lavinia]

As he turned to leave, he noticed a shadow out by the shed.

 

[mrstime]

As he turned to go back home the lightening hit very close to him, and the hair on the back of his neck stood up.

 

[Beezer]

It had been a long time since Liz had embraced the company of another man, and from her doorstep she instinctively shouted out..."Wait! Please don't leave!"...as large raindrops began to fall."

 

[Tish]

Gently on her face as if to hide a single tear.

 

[Mr. Ed]

As the rain grew harder with each step Lizzy took

 

[Lawrence]

They heard the sound of horse hooves running then his daughter Penny riding on her horse called Fury showed up.

(I know we aren't exactly penning Shakespeare here folks, but I imagine some of us were getting invested in the story. It was creative and fun...all of the different input. But I figure I'm done with the Add a Sentence Story threads. Oh well, I tried.)

Yes, it's frustrating when people don't follow on from the previous input. This happened on another site when a story was developing nicely, then someone jumped in and went off at a tangent.

 

[Lawrence]

I am disappointed I was having all kinds of fun.

 

[Pinky]

I was not involved, but thought it was coming along nicely.

It should continue along, I think.

 

[Lavinia]

Should we start again?

 

[Beezer]

Where did each of you want the story to go?

In my mind it was a magical storm and during the eye of the storm the two lead elderly characters would become young again for that brief period of time. Something along those lines...all of their ailments would slowly vanish...etc.

A car chase and some gratuitous use of midgets could have also moved the story along!

Keeding!

 

[Pinky]

I thought that these stories didn't have any given direction .. that's why they're so interesting.

 

[Lawrence]

I think that the stories should not have any rules other that this forums rules. Just add what you want and say what you want to. Maybe many different people here would like to start their stories.

They heard the sound of horse hooves running then his daughter Penny riding on her horse called Fury showed up.

Fury was exhausted because he ate too much corn beef at the dance. Penny was ready to chase the hounds once the bugle was called.

Instead of going with the flow, some people like to jack it into a completely different (and absurd) direction. It might seem humorous, but they really aren't thinking about a story. It makes for something that's disjointed and convoluted and not really much of a "story." I thought it was a fun idea until I realized it would always go way off track, make no sense, and go nowhere. Oh, well. Good try, Beezer.

When you play "stream of consciousness" stories sometimes the most interesting insights and alternative ways to view our world are revealed, rather than the way we are used to or want the story to go. Take a chance...the water is fine.
