Content: The Introduction:
I've had an idea, it's probably been done before, but it'd be interesting to see how it works. My idea is a simple social experiment; in my opinion, everyone has some level of creative ability (whether they accept it or not). Using that, the aim of this thread is is simple: to write a story as a community.

Everyone who reads the thread adds a little bit more to the end of the last post, and over time, we can build up a story to be proud of (provided we all follow the rules on writing stories here - don't try to annoy the mods!). Feel free to write as little or as much as you want, keep the story as simple as you want or fill it with confusing plot twists: it's up to you!

The Story:

Chapter One:

I awoke, startled by the noise of a passing car and soaked to the skin. The air was cold with a nip of Winter's final frost. The last night seemed all to be a blur: everything went by so quickly and now... Well here I was, laying in the cold, in a pool of: rain, sweat, blood, or who knows what?

I scrambled to find the fabric I'd noticed earlier, hoping to at least retain some form of dignity, but to no avail: I couldn't find it now, scrambling in the mud like a wild animal. That was when I noticed, the footsteps had stopped; what I heard now was far worse: the laboured breathing of the shadowy figure of a tall man in a long, grey coat standing next to me.

"Wh - Who are you?", I barely managed to force the words out of my mouth: partly through dehydration, and partly through the paralysing fear that had overcome me, given my situation.

The response came in a deep and world-weary voice: "Put this on.". He held out his hand, passing something through the bars of the cage. With no other option and my eyes refusing to adjust properly to the light - or lack thereof, I reached out my hand and accepted his offer...

Chapter 2: The Plot Thickens!
[Continue Me!]

On a side note: 62 views and 2 responses? At least try to get into the spirit, because 60 of you aren't really getting the point of the whole experience . It's fun! :biggrin:
