Hello! This is a group creativity game. Let's try writing an interesting story that never ends. Simply contribute a maximum of three sentences at a time and play as often as you wish. I'll start our story:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ribbons of color in tonight's sunset took my breath away. Swirls of delicate pinks, soulful blues and passionate purples seemed to melt effortlessly into the sky's horizon. Then, without warning, it happened.

mikej · 01-02-2011, 08:25 PM

I got run over by a car!

LGH1288 · 01-02-2011, 09:07 PM

I was in total shock and nearly unconscious but I managed to roll over to the side of the road. Just before I passed out I saw the most unexpected vision looming above my aching, crumpled body.

Janine · 01-02-2011, 09:08 PM

I opened my eyes and noticed the sides of the cot I was lying in. Six weeks I had been in a coma. I don't know who brought me here. My parents are arriving today. I cant speak properly and my leg hurts when I try to move. I notice a book lying on the dresser next to me. Nurse said it was from a visiting couple who sat by my bedside and read to mw while I slept. I feel very childish...

insanezenmistress · 01-02-2011, 10:02 PM

.. as the image of seeing myself read to by strangers flashed thru my mind. Remembering comforts intended toward me, but who where they? Was the old couple the one's responcible for putting me in a coma?

Jon Tore · 01-02-2011, 10:04 PM

I tried to think back as far as I got before I passed out, before the strange sight. But I'm alive and still breathing... hey, I hate it when I become aware that I'm breathing.. makes me feel aware of my tongue and my current spit production as well. Did that car actually hit me, going reverse?

Janine · 01-02-2011, 10:10 PM

It was the bridge you see. As I walked over the bridge it opened up and threw me with a mighty force. I remember it now...

Jon Tore · 01-02-2011, 10:14 PM

But I still can't help the feeling that both the bridge and the car was all a dream.. If I can't manage to get contact with a nurse around here, I'll still go with the bridge theory.. throwing me off like that.

TheOptimist · 01-02-2011, 10:28 PM

But where does that sore feeling in my heart come from?

LGH1288 · 01-02-2011, 10:43 PM

Ten years have passed since that awful accident, but I remember it like it was yesterday. That mega earthquake had registered 8.8 on the Richter scale, and it easily collapsed the bridge like a tinker toy. The old couple would later be reading to me at my hospital bedside from a journal they were keeping about their random acts of kindness and how they believed in paying it forward.

LGH1288 · 01-02-2011, 10:49 PM

I realized that the sore feeling in my heart came from my yearning to find the old couple and thank them for their kindness. And, I wanted to ask them how I could best pay it forward. I knew I'd have to travel half across the world to find them.

LGH1288 · 01-03-2011, 12:01 AM

Little did I know I'd have to travel to Japan to find them. Ah, Japan, always at the cutting edge of practical technology! Where else on earth can you find a heated toilet equipped with a medical sensor that uploads a biochemical analysis of your urine to your physician's office?

seeds · 01-03-2011, 01:48 AM

Then, as my rotten luck would have it, a glitch occurred in the urine analyzer (something that rarely ever happens in the year 3207), but happen it did.

Instead of sending statistics regarding my urine, it was for the urine of the person just before me. And it did not send them to my physician's office either.

Suddenly, there were voices just outside the stainless steel door of the restroom...

LGH1288 · 01-03-2011, 01:27 PM

To my utter delight, these were the familiar voices of the old couple! But, when I saw their faces I was shocked to see that in the year 3207 the old couple had miraculously regained their youth. They quickly ushered me out of the building, onto the roof and into a helicopter.

seeds · 01-03-2011, 02:51 PM

Needless to say, I was somewhat confused.

Admittedly, ever since the "accident," there were many gaps in my memory.

However, the sight of the "old" couple, accompanied with the panicked rush to extricate me from the canitorium, triggered a dark and ominous feeling in the depths of my mind.

LGH1288 · 01-03-2011, 04:30 PM

As the helicopter lifted into the sky I closed my tired eyes and took a deep, long breath. I was overcome with curiosity, and I wondered how the couple was able to find me again. The whirring sound of the helicopter's blades continued for an hour then we landed on a mountain's summit.

seeds · 01-03-2011, 05:22 PM

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in what was once the Amazonian rain forest, urgent talks were taking place at the United Continents of Earth headquarters.

I say "talks," but it was more of a finalization of plans to deal with the last remnants of the rebels of the "Ascension Wars" which began in the last millennium.

JoePike · 01-03-2011, 05:26 PM

We exited the helicopter and the "old" couple led me toward a beautiful fountain...could this be their fountain of youth?

I drank deeply from the fountain, waiting for it's magical effects, but the couple just laughed and let me know it's just a normal fountain.

My ominous feeling was then justified, as they told me the real way they had been able to trick Father Time.

LGH1288 · 01-04-2011, 02:02 AM

It seems that during the "Ascension Wars" an anarchist faction had broken away from UCE rebel forces and then somehow managed to hijack a functioning prototype of a tera-neutronium powered time machine. A small band of the anarchists decided to travel back in time to retrieve a secret age-defying substance that was locked in a hermetic crypt 1,000 miles below the Earth's surface. The apparently "ageless" couple were the leaders of the time-travellers, and they had been violently coughed up to the surface when the earthquake destroyed the bridge I was crossing.

Helesinine · 01-04-2011, 02:28 AM

This was definitely too much information for me to deal with, so I had to sit down to give it a thought. I was with two anarchists but I didn't know if they were on the good side or on the bad side. Was it best for me to join them or to flee as soon as possible?

Janine · 01-04-2011, 11:17 AM

And then the curtain went up and it was all a farce. THE END

It is not "THE END". This is "The Endless Story Game" thread. It is a group creativity game. Unless a moderator chooses to close this thread the story continues from the previous post:

The "ageless" couple and I disembarked from the helicopter and made our way into a luxurious castle which was nestled on the mountainside. We were greeted by a small group of emissaries from the recent UCE conference. I decided to go along with the group rather than attempt to flee until I could determine the true intentions of the "ageless couple".

JoePike · 01-04-2011, 05:55 PM

Once in the castle we were taken to a large room full of Elvis impersonaters. Wall to wall hound doggers and love me tenderers. Funny thing was...all of them were the same age...and all of them REALLY did look just like Elvis Presley.

Janine · 01-04-2011, 11:00 PM

You aint nothing but a hound dog...

The castle was a UCE cloning facility. The "ELVIS" (Electronically-Loaded-Virtually-Indestructible-Soldier) warfare clones were being prepared for the UCE's latest military effort. The UCE was preparing to dispatch "ELVIS" troops to stop the highly disruptive "JANTROLL" (Joint-Army-Navy-Terror-Regime-Operation-Land-Lock) forces whose objective was to derail the UCE's upcoming 3208 Peace Conference in Japan.

But the castle also housed a brothel and exotic dancing night club. It was such a fun place to go. It was fun to dress up in your sexiest outfit and dance the night away.

LGH1288 · 01-05-2011, 12:49 PM

Unfortunately, we had no time for self-indulgent entertainment. The ever-disruptive "JANTROLL" forces were in full gear, and the UCE's "ELVIS" clones would have to stop them or else a new "Ascension War 3208" would break out on fragile planet Earth. The "ageless" couple was determined to ensure the peace conference talks would take place.

roxyruby · 01-05-2011, 02:34 PM

But even though we had no time for self indulgent pleasures we did anyway! The strip dancers were good, and we forgot all about our complicated troubles! We decided from then on to abandon that compex misison and just chill out and enjoy life from now on.
