The story game!
I've seen this on a few forums and thought it would be interesting. It's a collaborative story, someone writes one line then someone writes the next line. The story evolves from post to post. You're not allowed to contribute more than 1 line and you have to wait for someone else to post before you can contribute again. Let me get started.
Once upon a time there lived a girl called Joanne.
Once upon a time there lived a girl called Joanne.
She wanted to find something interesting & meaningful to do with her life.
So one day she went down to the beach.
And there she found a message in a bottle.
She wasn't sure if she should open it - she could be reading someone else's private mail!
But after a moment's hesitation, she broke the bottle on a rock and fished out the message.
It was impossible for her to read, however, as it was written in a language that was unfamiliar to her.
So she took it to a friends house to see whether he could make any sense of it.
Her friend, Baldrick, took one look at the aging parchment and screamed in horror.
"You must never tell anyone you found this", he shouted.
"But what does it say?" she asked with a perplexed frown.
"It's the secrets to the mystery of a lost land! A land that was assumed to be a myth, until now! Rumour has it that there is a group of people who will protect this secret, at any cost!" He says, while at the same time trying to avoid sounding like The Da Vinci Code.
"A lost land? Myth? Secret? What are you talking about? Can you read it?" were the questions thrown back at him.
Of course I can read it you fool!...It says, "Ew llahs reven nrael eht terces fo eht tsot danl esuaceb madA did ton wollof eht selur fo gniyalp htiw eno enil!"
"tsot danl...is that some kind of salad" she mused while trying to thumb through the rule book that had mysteriously appeared in her hand.
"Nooooooooooooooooooooo! I said the words, I said the words! It's all coming true! he screamed as he ran out the door.
Suddenly, a tall man with a beard was standing in front of her, he grabbed the rule book from her hands.
"Come with me" he demanded, "and we will take this rule book through yonder portal to the secret land to search for Adam, The Wizard of Solitaire!"
Rules, Schmules, but I am interested in that salad, so she followed the bearded one through yonder portal.
They climbed aboard an old pirate ship and crossed the pond to find the Great Wizard, for only he could answer their questions.
