ADD TO THE STORY

BOB FARLEY HAS SET THIS CHALLENGE

Below is the beginning of a story. Add to it

You are sleeping. You wake to hear your phone ring. No one else seems to wake up. You get out of bed and reach for the phone, hold it to your ear and you hear nothing. As you hang up you hear a noise. You turn around to see.............

Once the first person has posted an addition to the story. Subsequent writers can then either add to the first post. However, they could also start a new strand rather than followed the one in the first posting..

Continuation

...a man wearing black shoes, black socks, black trousers, a black sweatshirt, black gloves, and a black beanie. He is pointing a black pistol at you. You remember a trick you saw in a movie. You pull the blanket off your bed and cover the man's head with it so he can't see. Still holding it on, you get behind him so that if he fires randomly he'll have to turn round to hit you. You use your free hand to try and wrestle the gun of him. It worked! You go back to the phone and call the police. You then go to your parents's room and open the safe. You toss the gun inside, knowing that the intruder can't retrieve it unless he can guess the combination. You return to your room. The intruder is gone! Your window is open. You look out and see him running away. You...

A

notice a large white hole, sitting in the middle of the garden. It appears to be tearing at the very fabric of reality. Chaotic visions appear inside the swirling mass, and the figure takes another step towards it. He is completely oblivious to the apparently dangerous object, and then you realize he has made it with the high-tech slab of dull metal in his hands. He disappears into the vortex, and it grows larger, sucking up your mother's favourite garden gnome. you make an instantaneous desicion to leap in. Your brain is screaming at you
"Stop! Stop!"
But you do not. You vault over the window, crash through rhododendron bushes, and leap into the hole. From what you imagine being drunk (like a glass of water( is, this is pretty close. You black out, and wake up in another time and place. It is...

And.....

a huge building with white walls and the odd painting of Queen Victoria and Franz Joseph I of Austria is present. As you stumble over a box of shoes you did not notice before and an ensemble of people comes around the corner as you drop to the ground. Hidden behind the shoe box, just your foot that is, you pray they are to busy to notice you. It seems to work for a while as they pass by until you hear a deathly scream. The entire entourage turns right around and glares at you directly. Silence pulsates from the group for five seconds but a squeak interrupts. Your eyes pop over the other side and you finally see what they are really looking at. It is a small, baby........

Start of story B

You are at piano lessons. You have nearly finished one of your pieces, when the key you are about to press disappears! It gives your tutor such a shock, that she has a heart attack! You rush to the nearest phoe and dial 111. Instead of a human voice, you hear the sound of a river. Your ear starts to feel wet. You soon find that there is water flowing out of the phone! You hang up, but that just makes the water flowing out turn black. In fact, the whole room is turning black! You look at your hands. They too are blackening! You run to the only exit, but the door is locked. You find the keys hanging from a string tied to the roof. You try a window. As soon as you open it a leopard leaps through it, knocking you to the floor. All of a sudden, the leopard vanishes in a puff of golden smoke. You manage to climb out the window, only to find it surrounded by gorillas. Gorillas armed with AK47s. There is a steel egg-cup lying on the ground. You pick it up and examine it. There is a small orange button on it. You press it and...

STORIES

Will stories A & B intersect? Guess I'll have to wait & see.

story B

.....giant swans fly over your head,dropping explosive eggs. You dodge them, then hold on to one of their legs. You get carried to the roof, and grab the keys. As the string breaks you let go and crash to the floor. Strangely you feel no pain. You run to the door, fiddle with the keys trying to find the right one. When you get the right one, the door opens and a blast of darkness and water sweeps you away. You wake up to see a boy jump into a portal outside a house. You.........

AN INTERSECTION

Is an intersection between 2 stories a portal ? I'll have to wait & see.

How can someone wake up

How can someone wake up while still uncoscious?
(By the way - yes, I'm back again)

Change

I've changed the passage!

B

...fall to the floor, unconscious. You wake up in a pool of acid surrounded by nothingness. Actually, it feels like you're in a spa pool. Then you finish your dream and wake up in a prison in Bolivia. The door is open. You try to go through it, but it's locked. The door is locked? And yet it appears to be open?
You turn around to find another egg-cup. This one's made of flour-and-water paste. All of a sudden it turns into a frog. He introduces himself as Kasboba.
He tells you about what just happened. Of course, all you heard was croaking because you never learnt how to speak Frogginian. Then everything explodes, including you. You wake up on top of a piano, floating through the air around a room littered with skeletons. One's standing up. He pulls out a scimitar he never had out of a sheath that doesn't exist, and gives it to you. "Yonk! Knranshninongon shkraglaxkrumgum?" The skeleton whispers in fluent skeletonic, which is odd considering the language didn't exist. Strangely, you know what he was saying. "Skayknong." you reply. Before your brain catches up to what's just happened, you forget what just happened, so you just fall asleep. You wake up...
