One Line At a Time!

[dazbizkit]

Ok, this has been done before but I just want to see how this one turns out.

I'll start the story off with a line and then another member adds their own, and the next member adds another, and ....you probably get it!

So we should see a story unfolding before us!


Here it goes:


As I walked down the hallway, all I could feel was the wind spiralling past.

[Wreybies]

As I walked down the hallway, all I could feel was the wind spiralling past.

No ceiling was evident and the steel grey sky roiled above. A dream?

[dazbizkit]

Surely it can't be; can it? The trees lean back and forth. The storm is growing.

[IamIan]

The branches scraped the wallpaper leaving gashes in the walls.

[Shadow Reeves]

i rounded a corner as the wind became desperate and saw a red wooden door not thirty metres distant.

[Wreybies]

Thirty meters? I thought to myself. Where am I? The Pentagon?

[Shadow Reeves]

as i began to walk to the door, it appeared to get closer than it should - as though it was moving towards me at the same pace. "**** is is weird" i muttered under my breath.

[dazbizkit]

As I tread with careful steps, the sound of a woman's laughter shot passed my ear and headed towards the door.

[CharlieVer]

Then, suddenly, the laughter stopped, and there was a gunshot, and the smell of fresh earth hung in the air.

[Nackl of Gilmed]

I knew with dread certainty that beyond the door lay death; the only question was whether or not that death was mine. I turned to leave, but the passage back was now only darkness.

[CharlieVer]

And not only darkness--it was as though the hallway behind me had dissolved into non-existence, and when I looked back, it seemed that I was standing on the edge of a cliff leading to nowhere, nothing, and all existence was the hallway from which I had turned, and that red door, beckoning.

[Nackl of Gilmed]

I knew I had no choice but to open it. The knowledge did not lessen my fear. I slowly, slowly, raised my hand to the doorknob. It was brass, and so cold the skin of my hand froze to its surface. No turning back now, not even into the nothingness. I opened the door.

[CharlieVer]

That's when I saw her body, cold and hard, soaking wet, covered with mud, and very, very dead.

[Nackl of Gilmed]

I would like to say that I felt sadness. That her terrible beauty moved me to passionate tears. But I felt only relief. Whatever deadly storm had gathered me in its wake, it had not been here for me. I was alive.

[CharlieVer]

I stood, shocked, when suddenly, I heard the sound of sirens, growing louder.

[dazbizkit]

Slowly but surely, reality started to slide into focus. Everything I thought was real turned out to be an hallucination. I stood over her body, clutching the baseball bat I had beaten her with. Peering into her vacant stare as she lay in the bath tub. The gun I had used to finished her off lay on the floor.

[Schkatt]

I relayed the unfolding of the scenes back and forth amidst the mist of my brain.

[NathanBrazil]

A cop bursts through the door.

[Nackl of Gilmed]

I stared at the officer, puzzled. He had not been surprised to see me. Had not assumed I was the killer. Had not made any mention of the fact that I held the murder weapon in my... but when I looked down I discovered I wasn't actually holding it. The blood-soaked bat and the gun both lay by the bath. The only thing in my hand was a police-issue revolver.

[dazbizkit]

"Are you OK sir?"
"Err yeah I'm fine" I say while I shake my head.
Why am I getting these hallucinations? It's ever since these murders have started happening. I've got to get to the bottom of this. I've got to protect the city, and myself.

[CharlieVer]

Soon, after the incident with the banana and the porcupine, I was running for my life. Let me tell you about the banana and the porcupine, and how these were connected to the woman in the bathtub and the officer's indifference to my apparent commission of the murder.

[NathanBrazil]

Unknown Editor
[Feeds the film backward. What the . . . This guy's an idiot. Vague construction sounds. Indifference, indeed.
--No, wait. It was BlackBriar . . . It was a hit . . . Don't you see? The dude wasn't really a cop.
Will somebody shut that guy up? The sound of packing tape unrolling and then muffled speech.. That's better. Hammering sounds.
Let me just change this user name to G-Nat. Done.]

The hallucinations weave in and out of my mind. Something about a porcupine and his singing banana and then . . .

"I said drop the bat!!!" There is noticable tension in the cop's arms.
I'm gripping the bloody bat and the cop's head looks like a nice round baseball.

A FRESH START

Kendrie Phillips watched in dismay as her flight began to taxi away from the gate without her.

[Nackl of Gilmed]

How the aeroplane had managed to fit itself into a taxi was an issue best left unexplored.

[De La Chretiens]

That inane little joke wobbled in her head for a while. Of course, she knew that taxi meant "to move" instead of the yellow vehicle that made travel convenient.

[Toxic.Ox]

There was a nagging voice inside my head, growing with speed, feeding on my fear like a parasite, What if I was the danger, who would protect the innocents from me? By now the fear had grown to the size of a mountain, with the voice at it's peak.

[gseries1]

Unable to stand the banging of my own thoughts any longer, I shouted to the world that, "

[Writer_of_Wrongs]

I HAVE NO LIFE!!!" and proceeded to sprint to the gate. She asked for a different flight, but the secretary just kept clicking away at the keyboard, as if she didn't exist.

[Meliha]

Oh no! There are two of these now and it's my fault; sorry! :redface: Can we merge them or something?

I didn't even care 'where to'; I just wanted to fly: Taj Mahal, Aya Sofia, leaning tower or Eifffel Tower - what did I care.

[sanz57]

But the nagging thought in my head persisted. For some reason, people had stopped responding to my actions and words.

[KurtistheTurtle]

Maybe it had something to do with the large diaper I was wearing. Well, it could be worse -- at least now I was prepared for an emergency.

[Writer_of_Wrongs]

then the things in my hands came into focus:it was a banana suitcase, with a porcupine in a small, steel crate with air holes.

[Meliha]

Was I only dreaming?

[Shadow Reeves]

or was i dreaming in a dream?

[dazbizkit]

Or was I dreaming of dreaming in a dream? Whatever I was doing I had to find an explanation to why I had managed to smuggle a porcupine and a perishable fruit item through customs!

[Manav]

And then she appeared... in a white gown, her teeth glinting, a halo behind her head; everything was clear now.

[Cogito]

I knew, right then, that I was indeed developing cataracts.

[Writer_of_Wrongs]

And then she looked at me, i gazed back, and she said, "I am way out of your league."

[job]

"Nonesense, haven't you ever read Charles Darwin's obituary!?" I couldn't believe her ingorance.

[Writer_of_Wrongs]

She gazed at my fruit-like suitcase, and replied, "is that edible?"

[JTheGreat]

The mod-design of the airport gave it all away though, as she looked into a haphazardly-shaped mirror opposite of the desk: Kendrie Phillips was invisible.

[Writer_of_Wrongs]

"Dang shrooms are at it again," she muttered to herself, and continued to go back to the car, when suddenly...

[solarstarrkatt]

Chuck Norris destroyed the Earth.

[Nikhil]

With the Earth destroyed, she became a spirit.

[Squeeky]

Which wandered the ocean in search of spongebob, hoping he was real.

[Unit7]

All the while wondering how it was possible to search the ocean for spongebob with the planet destroyed.

[Cogito]

But then, no one said it would be easy-peasy.

[Manav]

His determination to find the largest spongebob in the universe never wavered.

[Shadow Reeves]

and hand in hand they wandered the stars, through the sulphuric seas of venus and glacial wonders of neptune they searched for the mighty spongebob. The other spirits rumoured that he was the only one that could replace the earth to its former putrescence as he was mightier than Chuck Norris.

[Shadow Reeves]

THE END
?
id say so...

FRESH START

Jake Bloggs sat on his couch watching TV while wearing only his 1980's star treck T-shirt and boxers.

[Squeeky]

He was a normal nerd about to have his life change forever.

[alphabetsoup]

His Television Set Was Flickering As It Seemed To Pull Him Closer, Closer Into An Abyss Of Endless Drama In TVLand. "BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!" He Proclaimed. Had He Accepted His Fate Too Soon?

[Shadow Reeves]

as his stomach neared the TV set it began to warp and distort - pixelate some may say.

Suggestions: Copy paste the above and add your sentence in bolt: to make it easier for the next poster. Also, add just one sentence as per the rules, don't get carried away :)

[Shadow Reeves]

His dream was abruptly broken when his wife walked into the room, and on seeing her husband rubbing his stomach on the TV, turned the power off at the wall.

[Garfiun]

Shocked, the husband threw a punch at his wife just missing her.

[jo spumoni]

She raised her eyebrows, and muttered, her voice trailing upward at the last syllable, "Spousal abuse?"

[Garfiun]

"Im sorry! It will not happen again." said the husband. "Your right." said the wife.

[jo spumoni]

"You used the wrong kind of "your," Jake told her.

[Fantasy of You]

'Thank you, Jake.' She walked off into the distance, never to be seen again. Until...

[keeksta]

The day when the sky turned green, and the seas turned to dust

[jacklondonsghost]

Humankind had lived under the threat of nuclear war for decades, and yet nobody truly believed it could happen until the first of the warheads dropped on Los Angeles.

[jo spumoni]

And amidst the rubble sat Jake Bloggs, faded Star Trek t-shirt on his back, shaking his head, and muttering, "God damn it, I knew this would happen. Why didn't anyone ever believe me?"

[keeksta]

Through the dust Jake saw his wife, her skin was as white as snow, and in her hand she held a...

[jo spumoni]

baby. She had found him lying in the rubble, his wails splitting the deafening silence of the barren earth.

[amck]

"What are we going to feed it?" Jake asked, and she looked at him and he knew that she didn't intend to feed it at all.

[cellofr3ak]

Looking solemnly down at the child, the wife began to cry.

[JessaNova]

Fighting through sobs, she wiped her eyes and whimpered, "This baby is no human baby."

[SashaMerideth]

Jake had seen enough sci-fi, so he grabbed a shard of broken glass.

[white]

And the baby (that was no human baby), sensing real danger, kung-fu kicked the shard out of Jake's hand.

[solarstarrkatt]

Jake, swearing under his breath, grabbed another shard.

[Soft Rains]

Shard in hand, Jake turned around only to find his small-bodied foe several feet off the ground.

[JessaNova]

"No," he whispered, "Is that... Jackie Chan?"

[Naiyn]

"Jackie Chan? Hahahahhahaa" The baby laughed. "Foolish human, I am Chackie Jan, master of Fu Kung, and I challange you to a duel."

[Shadow Reeves]

"request denied." Chackie Jan cocked his head to one side as he processed this reply. jake continued
"im a little busy perhaps take a rain check?"

[C.A.Smith]

"No, no rain check today."
"Than we shall fight to the death."

[eden baylee]

"Get ready to die today."

[Reggie]

"I'm gonna tear you lean from lean. Don't worry, 'cause this will only hurt a lot."

[Youniquee]

Jake backed away, fear pulsing through every vein in his body.
"Don't kill me, kill that old man!"

[Squidget]

Chackie slowly turned to where a elderly man had been scrambling through the rubble.

[Evelyanin]

Fear filled his eyes, and a lone tear trickled down the old man's cheek as he painfully scraped his dry, brittle hands across the rough surface of the concrete scraps.

[Squeeky]

"Just make it quick," he said. "Or I'll be late for dinner."

[Petunia]

'Dinner,' said Chackie, 'You are dinner!' while he raised his nunchucks

[PapaSmurfberry]

"Well then, cover me with cheese and call me a souffle, lets rock." he shouts.

[Squeeky]

Fists in the air he charges.

[Cerrus]

"OH IT'S ON BABY!" The old man shouted as he pulled out a rocket launcher.

[yorutora]

He shot the rocket launcher missing all humans, but hitting a...

[Manav]

.... milk jar which broke into pieces and a fountain of milk appear from the ground where the jar was.

[Darkjester79]

Out of the fountain a beautiful milk slyph appeared overjoyed to be free from her imprisonment within the jar for ten thousand years. then she turned, saw Chackie and the old man starting world war three. "...I'm outta here!" She grumbled, stamping off.

[Bay K.]

With surprising speed, the old man caught up with her.
"Not till you grant me my three wishes, Sylphy! I know my rights!"

[K.S.A.]

"Yeah? And I know a good lawyer. So, back off!"
