The intention of this blog is very simple - to create a story out of nothing, well next to nothing.

The idea is very simple and stems from a word game popular when I was at school. We start off with one word; usually 'One' and move on to player number two who in turn adds their own word and so on and so forth.
EXAMPLE:
One-day-I-got-up-and-washed-my-car-with-the-leftovers-from-last-night's-wild-Patagonian-monkey-lap-dancing-cribbage-party-that-I-found-lying-around-my-penthouse-scout-tent...etc

Obviously it is important for the story to make sense, but this is not always possible. The main reason being that people will try to insert the most ridiculous or inappropriate word in order to change the whole meaning or direction of the story. Sometimes this works, sometimes it ruins the whole thing.

There is no point in mentioning the numerous examples of the latter, so instead here is the classic example of the former:-

During an particularly boring Wednesday afternoon without a teacher to watch over us and after the compulsory ten minutes of unsupervised anarchy my class ended up playing this game. The story began ordinary enough, but with at least a dozen teenage male minds in attendance, the tale began to take on a sexual element, despite the efforts of some of the girls to try and steer it back on to the path of righteousness. The hero finally ended up in to a brothel, meeting a prostitute, going upstairs in to a room... where-we-had... The last man in the line was a quiet bloke called Jim. It all hung on him. What would he say? We could see the look on his face. Do I say the obvious? What if a teacher comes in and I'm saying 'Sex'? Do I run out of the room? Do I wet myself? Instead, Jim produced a work of comic genius. He said ‘ice-cream'. The class exploded into fits of hysterical laughter.

So, with this in mind, I want to attempt to make a story out of nothing. Of course this relies on the participation of you out there; otherwise it falls flat on its face. Simply reply in the comment box below. I have provided the first reply already.

So, let's begin. Over to you!
