Chatterbox: Inkwell

Create a group story with all of our fellow Chatterbox users! This is how it works. I'll start with 'John walked' and the next user posts 'with Melissa through the' and the next writes 'pine trees.' There are, however, a couple of guidelines.

- All posts contributing to the story should have somewhere between 1-10 words.  It's all right if you want to chat as well, but put a line in between your story and chat, like

James hugged her and

--

Hey guys! What's up?

- This is about imagination, not about sense. It's okay to jump from 'Melissa laughed heartily and' to 'suddenly turned into a toxic leprechaun.' 

- Try to end your story contribution in a way that others can build on, like

'Ben elbowed the goat and'  

See how we end the sentence with an 'and' so that others can build on that? It is also fine to end the sentence, but not as fine to post like

'Ben elbowed the goat and'

'then he sad hey lets all become mutants" and they all lived hapily ever after the end'

- Follow the the Chatterbox rules.

- And most importantly, have fun!  

I'll begin.
