The Write A Bit of A Story Thread

Post Reply New Topic

Ok here's the rules. Everybody will take a turn writing a bit of a story. No more than 2 paragraphs if you can help it. You have to build off of what the person ahead of you wrote and no one person should post two times in a row to make it more fair for others. Obviously spelling and grammar should be adhered to as best we can but nobody is perfect and I know I'm going to make mistakes. Let's just have fun with it. Let's see how long and interesting this story can get. I'll get us started.
--------------------------------

Wednesday morning. I didn't wake up so much as I did become aware that I was awake already.

"Lorna" I said under my breath, my voice sounding gravelly and harsh because it was so dry. She was gone and I knew it. She had told me she'd be back in 17 days but frankly I'd lost count already.

I moved to my dresser and I opened the top drawer. Next to my socks was a little box sporting a picture of a rose with falling pedals. I took it out and I opened it for the first time in a year. No surprises, everything was just as it was left, a purple piece of thread, two concert tickets, an answering machine tape full of messages she wanted me to keep and a picture. She had taken it with her cell phone and printed it up, cut it out, and gave it to me to keep. She wanted me to have something relating to her that I could hold. Looking into her pixelated grey eyes I could almost hear her talking to me. And I knew exactly what she would say.

-----------------------------

I had to forget that thought, it upset me too much to think or her, I missed her so much. I placed the box back into the top draw, closed it and sighed. "Time to check the calander,"...I thought to myself.
There were 9 days until Lorna would arrive home. Desperate for something to take my mind off her, I turned on the radio. Strange, it wasn't working. I looked out of my bedroom window to notice a large anvil cloud with a rotating base.
"Great," I thought to myself. "Thats just what I need to take my mind off things, a good storm chase,".
I got dressed, grabbed all of the equipment that I needed, exited the house in a hurry, entered my truck and drove towards the storm. Having switched on the radar, I got a big surprise. I never expected anything like this. Excited and scared at the same time, I called my friend on the cell phone to tell him the news.

"You again?" My friend answered. "Yeah, I know. You miss Lorna and I'm supposed to be understanding but, come on, I already know what you're going to say every time you call so why don't you just contact me telepathically instead? Saves time and even if I can't read your mind I know what you're thinking. Lorna. Lorna. Lorna."

"Wait. Percy. Guess what--"

Suddeny I heard static on my phone and then an eerie electronic sound was coming through my phone, talking to me.
