One sentence story

[Dropkick]

The idea: you add one sentence to the story, and then you have to wait for someone else to add a sentence before you add the next one.

Example:
user one: He turned and walked heroically into the sunset.
user two: Unfortunately he was in a play and the sunset was a background painting.
user three: He rebounded from the backdrop and fell into the orchestra pit, wedging his head into a tuba.
user one: Luckily they were able to get him out by prying on his neck with some flutes and opening the spit valve which equalized the pressure.
user four: However in pulling free of the tuba he fell backwards ......etc.




Now the first sentence:


I was walking down the street when suddenly I spotted something in the distance.

 

[FortyTwo]

I realized, to my surprise, that the object in question was an oversized jar of jam.

 

[led.boots]

Half expecting to see a towering jar of peanut butter, I gingerly approached the jam.

 

[FortyTwo]

It was then that the jar proceeded to sprout a gigantic mouth with glass teeth and lunged at me, drooling jam all over the street in the process.

 

[Dropkick]

Quickly, I pulled a glass encased ant colony from my shoulder holster and pointed it toward the rampaging jam.

 

[KLS52]

Unfortunately, it was grape jam and that is the one kind of jam that ants don't eat.

 

[beancounter]

Then I woke up from my dream and swore off hummus forever.

 

[led.boots]

I noticed some white Pikmin nearby, so I plucked eleven from the ground and tossed them toward the jam jar.

 

[beancounter]

I noticed some white Pikmin nearby, so I plucked eleven from the ground and tossed them toward the jam jar.

But then I realized it was just a dream and there was no jar.

 

[Dropkick]

But then I realized that it had been a dream, within a dream, within a dream, and my name might be Bobby Ewing.

 

[Spang]

I woke up.

 

[beancounter]

Then I turned the clock to zero, and started on a brand new day.

 

[Dropkick]

However after looking closer I realized that this was either a gently used or a refurbished day.

 

[Spang]

I grabbed the receipt off of the kitchen counter and made my way to Best Buy to complain, cause a scene, and demand a refund.

 

[beancounter]

What I got instead of a refund was a night in jail.

 

[led.boots]

"Officer, do you think a 15% restocking fee is reasonable?"

 

[beancounter]

To which the cop replied "hey buddy, I don't make the rules, I enforce them".

 

[beancounter]

So after I got home, I took pictures of snails with my non-digital camera while contemplating whether I should buy a gas or electric stove.

 

[FortyTwo]

Meanwhile, I sent a missile to the moon because I had learned the other day that apparently there were terrorists living up there and I didn't want to take any chances.

 

[beancounter]

But the missile accidentally hit a Martian freighter en route to Alpha Centauri.
