So here's the deal.

we all write a story. it starts off with one sentence. everyone else adds a sentence. after a certain amt of time the ending will be given the go ahead.

quote the person who's sentence you are continuing off of. Try to keep it around 15-20 words (excessivly long or short sentences will be ignored)
be creative but keep it in the confines of the board rules.
a word on CONTINUITY - please read at least 80% of what has been written before you start your line.
Please keep it on topic. (strange coming from me, but I really want to see where this goes and allow it to be read without having to skip posts)


here's the opening line:

As he crawled out from the drainpipe John looked back and wondered what led him to this point in life.

[Grampa]

"shit...shit....shit", he mumbled to himself, remembering he forgot to get a tetanus shot prior to accepting the mission.

[RAT900]

"shit...shit....shit", he mumbled to himself, remembering he forgot to get a tetanus shot prior to accepting the mission.

He noted how good the cool driving rain felt, cleansing actually as he struggled to light a cigarette to burn the leeches off his arms

[metallimonster]

The distant sound of movement coming out the pipe reminded him that he had bigger problems than tetanus and leaches.

[NoisyDante]

Something had awakened in the depths, an evil that had gone undisturbed for centuries in the earth beneath New York City.

[He Man]

A foul stench rushed out of the drain pipe and filled his lungs.

A foul stench rushed out of the drain pipe and filled his lungs.

As he lurched away from the pipe, the taste of bile filling his mouth, he realized why he had been so careful in choosing hie route.

[Drunken Monkey]

"Why does the Agency always send freelancers like me to clean up their latest screw-up with the Elder Gods?" he thought as he turned and pulled out his trusty .45 and sighted it down the long straight tunnel.

[ZLTFUL]

Suddenly in the darkness behind him he heard a sound that brought the reality of the entire situation crashing down upon him...a child's laugh.

[Speedbag]

And it was then he realized he was wearing assless chaps....with no pants or underwear.

[il d00d]

"... news at the top of the hour.  The high today in the mid-fifties with a chance of..."  Was all the clock radio had the chance to broadcast before a hand tingly from nocturnal contortion flopped onto the snooze button.  He had the assless chaps zombie sewer worm dream again.

[corey]

Through his blurred double-vision he finally noticed the rolled carpet with two dainty, bloody feet protruding from one end...and realized that the dream was the least of his worries...

[SacDuc]

He stumbled his way to the bathroom and when the unshaven man in the mirror looked up he said, "I think I'll be mean today."

[NoisyDante]

Memories of the previous evening began to form, including yelling to his butler, "Fetch another rug, Livingston!" and writing a note on a post-it to pick up more bleach, which he saw on the mirror before him.

[Grampa]

"Bleach" he laughed out loud.... "I hated that album."
