Story Circle
I got a good idea for a game in talking with Pandora on HCM. It's something that I do on occasion with my writer's group. Though we have yet to do it this year.
1.) First we need 7 people to sign up for each round.
2.) I will randomly create an ordered list of the 7 people.
Quote:
Person A
Person B
Person C
Person D
Person E
Person F
Person G
3.) Person A begins a story by writing 50-100 words and then sends it to Person B. Person A makes sure to keep a copy of his or her piece of the story.
4.) Person B continues the story writing 50-100 words based on what Person A starts. Then Person B sends their 50-100 words to person C. However does not send the words from Person A.
5.) This continues for the rest of the players. Each person can only see the previous section of 50-100 words, but not the rest of the story. The end result should be a wacky hilarious story.
6.) Each person posts his or her part in the thread.
Round 1:
RedSoxFan3:
The silence was piercing. Johnny pushed the tucked in covers off of him as he sat up. There it was, his closet, sitting there innocently staring at him, waiting until he went to sleep before it opens itself letting out the monsters within. Several times he woke up in the middle of the night to the doors squealing only to have it slam shut as he rolls over to catch the prankster red-handed. He never saw it move, but he knew it did. It just had to.
Oscarius:
"A sound broke the damp silence. Johnny stared at the closet door but the sound didn't emit from it. Instead, soft steps could be heard from outside...the window. Momentarily shocked, Johnny rose from the bed and stalked to the window. He could still hear the silent, muted footsteps. Carefully lifting the hatch to check out. Johnny was relived as he saw that the muted sound had been made by that branch, again. “Fooled, as always.” Johnny thought. “Maybe the monsters in the closet is the same.” Even if he quietly said that he knew that the monsters existed. With a soft creak he could hear the closet door slip open once again. He walked over to close it. And checked inside. "
B-E-T-A:
“In the movement Johnny checked inside of the closet, a gigantic claw suddenly burst out and the door got slammed open. Johnny fell screaming down on the floor with his eyes closed. Johnny heard creak and scratching sounds and assumed the monster was scratching up the floor and destroying the furniture of his room. He got around on his stomach, opened his eyes and saw the shadow of the monsters claw behind him and quickly started to crawl against the open window. As he got right below the window, Johnny stood up and considered jumping out of the window to safety, when he felt something grabbing his foot.”
Carcity:
The thing that grabbed his foot dragged him down on the floor and around in the room. Johnny used his free foot to kick of the thing. He got loose and jumped up on his feet and ran to the window. He was going to make a jump for it and get out. He opened the window and took out his legs. He then put the legs to the wall and jumped away just as he felt something grabbing onto his shirt. It was strong and held him. It tried to drag him back into the room. But Johnny fought back and got away. He then landed on the ground with his left leg first and felt great pain in it. He screamed and couldn't get up.
Galev:
His scream did not attract much attention, noone was near. He still saw stars because the pain. He looked up and had a sigh of relief as it seemed that that Thing did not try to follow him. He started to wonder why all these seem to happen always with him. He couldn't ponder for too long as something hit him hard on the head. It was a lemon! And the second came quick enough after the first one. Lemons flying all around him, he decided to make a creep for it.
"Why the sour face, boy?" Someone asked from above
Card_Ximinez:
"What, who said that?" the kid exclaimed and looked around him, but spotted noone. "Up here,boy." The anynomous voice was there again. he looked up and saw a terrible thing: a creature half-lemon, half-mannequin was hovering above him. It had a mischivous grin in it's face and it's eyes were as green as the grass under the kid's feet. "Who-who-who are you?" he stuttered. "What, yoou don't recognise me?" the creature replied. "No. Sir!" he added, just in case. "But, boy, I am your father!" the creature bellowed and landed next to the kid.
Jiriki9:
The boy shivered. “I’m sorry, sir, but I’m sure you not. I mean…” the boy pointed at himself. “Do I look like you?” But the creature did not give up yet: “Well, boy, you look more like your mother.” Now the kid was completely confused, and rather scared, too. “No, this cannot be!” he shouted at the creature, which let out a roaring laughter. “Indeed, it was a joke.” The creature admitted.”But you should’ve seen your face.” And after a moment both of them were shaking in laughter and it was the begin of a weird friendship…

Round 3:
Asheera:
It was a nice and quiet night at the Owl Tavern. The few people in there were discussing things polite, ordering some drinks and having some fun with jokes and other word games. But suddenly the door at the entrance was opened so fast that it made a loud noise when hitting the wall, and a very tall man entered the Tavern. He looked extremely intimidating and scary, and his eyes gazed on Bill, a nice guy that just finished his drink. Immediately after seeing the tall man, Bill fled upstairs, and the intimidating man followed him...
Carcity:
Bill ran into a room and the tall man went after. Bill ran into the room and hid inside the closet. The man came into the room just as bill had gotten into the closet. The man walked slowly into the room. He walked around the room looking for bill. When he turned around to walk out bill jumped out of the closet. Bill screamed as he jumped out. The man got very scared and screamed. He then saw bill and started to laugh. Bill sat down at the bed. The man sat down next to him. “haha.” Said Bill. “there I scared you dad.”
Card_Ximinez:
"How dare you do that to me? For revenge, I'm sending you to a boarding school!" bellowed Billy's dad at him. "No, no, no!" shouted Billy. "Yes, yes, yes!" insisted his dad. Two weeks later Billy sat behind a desk in the Boarding School for the Rich and the Stupid. "BILLY! Pay attention!" shouted Billy's geography teacher, Mr. Westham. Billy snapped out of his daydreams. "S-sorry, Mr. Westham." he apologised. "Hmph..." said Mr. Westham and continued the lesson. But three years later Mr. Westham was hit by a dairy company truck. The company gave him three million pounds as a compensation. What he did with the money is a very interesting, story, so we'll start that one right now.
DagothGares:
Mr. Westham was pretty cool about the accident and spent his money wisely afterwards. Of course, he invested it in a promising company called 'Whiskers inc'. This was a banking system, surprisingly enough and he started an economic downfall for England which made the pound near useless. So Mr. Westham was forced to continue his old job to gain money.
Jiriki9:
But Mr. Westham hated this job and entire Britain and decided to leave the western world, heading to Greece. Unfortunately, his elderly car refused to keep driving in the middle of France, and he was standing on the road, without the ability to speek french, with almost no money. Yet he seemed to have luck here: He saw a rainbow in the direction of Italy and managed to follow it to it’s root, where he found a pot full of gold.
Mvassilev:
"Why is there a pot of gold here?" Mr. Westham exclaimed, "This is Italy, not Ireland!" He suddenly noticed a leprechaun running under his feet, and muttering, "Haha, you can't catch me, haha, you can't catch me!" Mr. Westham quickly reached down and seized him. "Now I've got you, now give me all your gold!" he yelled. "You think that all leprechauns have gold?" the leprechaun angrily retorted, "Wake up!"
Wake up, wake up, wake up... Mr. Westham shook his head, and then realized that the LSD had run out and the world had returned to normal.
RedSoxFan3:
He saw an angry face staring over him.
“Where am I?”
“Your in my house,” the said the angry face. “Now get the hell out.”
“How did I get here?”
“You clearly broke in somehow. You’re lucky I’m being nice and not calling the cops.” Mr. Westham stood up, his head pounded him back down onto the couch. He held his head wincing. “I kicked you in the head a couple of times while you were passed out. I thought it would wake you up, but it didn’t. Want some Ibuprofin before you head out?
Round 4:

Round 5:
RedSoxFan3:
Little Bobby sprinted out the door recklessly not closing the door properly and forgetting most of his things.
"Bobby," his mother called holding up her son's affections. "You can't go to school without your backpack or your lunchbox." Bobby sprinted back and grabbed his things. His mother quickly grasped him and kissed his forehead before he could run off again.
"I'm gonna miss the bus, Mom," he whined squirming in hopes of breaking loose from his mother's deathgrip.
Asheera:
Just when Bobby arrived at the bus station, the bus was leaving.
"Damn!", cussed John, as he pressed the ESC key and exited the game. "I'm tired of this game, I always end up in a bad situation no matter what I do!"
"You always whine about this, because you don't know how to organize yourself", said Sarah, John's sister.
John was a little annoyed at Sarah's remark, but he didn't have time to express it as they both heard a siren. When looking through the window, they saw a police car stopping at their place.
"Oh NO!", John said to himself, obviously knowing or at least suspecting as to why the police came to his house.
William:
John quickly went to the window and saw the police car had disappeared. He thought it was quite strange. John then heard a knock at the door. He opened it and to his surprise, saw his friend, Rapscallion Joe.
"Hi Rapscallion, how are you doing?" he asked. Before Rapscallion could answer, an armed robber came to the door asking for directions to the bank. I told him where the bank was and asked if perhaps we would like to come along. Me and rapscallion both agreed and then we went to rob the bank.
Mvassilev:
"Wait, what am I doing?" John thought to himself, "I'm ROBBING A BANK. Am I crazy?" He turned to his friend Rapscallion Joe and to the armed robber. "Sorry, guys, I think I'll have to pass," he told them, and went home.
Then he realized how bleak his life was, and drank himself into a stupor.
Jiriki9:
When he woke up, John first didn’t realize where he was. Everything was shadowy and yet incredibly bright, and his head was humming like a hundred blacksmiths had tried to hammer it into something rather thin.
After a while, he realized he was in some kind of forest, but none which he knew. He did not have his jacket on and it was really chill, so he decided to find out where he was and get back home quick.
First, he seized noone to ask, but then he saw a figure moving quickly through the wood not far away.
Carcity:
He walked down to the shadowy figure and saw that it was a small fairy. The fairy couldn’t talk for some reason. The fairy waved to John to follow her. She lead John trough the woods and they came to a small lake in the middle of the forest where there was lots of fairies. John felt the urge to take a bath in the lake and quickly took of all his clothes but his underwear and jumped into the lake. When he had been in the lake for 5 minutes something dragged him down into the water.
Del_Diablo:
The illusion shattered, the fairies transformed into particles of negativ energy and the water in the lake was murky and far from clean. The negativ energy beings stood there glowing green like poison and no body, like small green clouds.
He looked down and spotted a hairy flower with a few giantic petals emiting a greyish color and in the middle of it there was bones, he guessed it was from other boys and girls whom have been fooled over here. He looked at his foot and saw it was a wine that had stretched up from one of the petals, death was on him as he choked.
