Chatterbox: Inkwell

y'know... i had

y'know... i had an idea: what if we wrote a story together?? yep...all of us!! here's how it'll work: i'll start  with a first sentence and of you will say the next sentence, and then the next, and the next -- and we'll see what happens! there are only 3 rules! don't judge or discredit others' sentences, don't do two sentences in a row, & try to use semi decent grammar (but it doesn't have to be perfect!) 

oh, and have fun!!

Oooh I like this idea. How about this:

He was slightly taller than was considered normal, and his dark eyes flitted about anxiously.

He chewed nervously on his bottom lip as he glanced around at his surrroundings: the top of the westernmost tower of Hazelwood Palace.

Next sentence, maybe:

Could they have given him the wrong place?

Oooh, thats a really good idea. 

How about this next:

The man who had approached him in the street with the mysterious proposal had seemed so confident of himself, as if he were unable to err, but perhaps-

The instructions he’d been given had seemed so reasonable, but now that he looked back, maybe this was all just an elaborate hoax.

Either way, he was already too far to go back---not without the question of what could have happened? plaguing his mind---and so he gingerly knocked on the door.

The second the man's knuckels made contact with the rough wood of the door, it flew open, revealnf the most peculiar person the man had ever seen.

It was a short, young girl, with hair the color of snow and strange violet eyes that were slightly larger than normal.

The girl stared at him with an expression that was half disgust, half superiority, and somehow, the man did feel as if he were the tiny child's inferior and suddenly felt the urge to apologize, for what, he didn't know.

"Hmm," said the child, (who looked a little...was it...disappionted?) "A little weaker than I would have anticipated, but you'll do it."

The man wasn't sure how to reply to this, so he nodded somewhat awkwardly and smiled hesitantly.

"I am assuming you brought it?" the man's usually cool, crisp voice had abandoned him, and he spoke in a nervous ramble.
