Title: One sentence story Post by: Phoebe Jordan on March 23, 2008, 03:38:02 pm Okay this will be a simple game where eveyone adds one sentence per-post so that it can build a story. And I will then take all of the sentence and post it so that everyone will see how everyone contributed to the whole story. This thread will be open for one year and every member will post one sentence per-post, so on February 19, 2009 this thread will be closed and then I will be posting the story in a brand new thread for everyone to see and post about it.
The story will be about a girl named Paige who is 24 and looking for a job. Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Phoebe Jordan on March 23, 2008, 03:38:45 pm Here is my first sentence to start off the game:
Paige woke up on a Tuesday morning ready to face the day that awaited her. Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Wendy Ely on April 14, 2008, 08:57:06 pm My life is boring, she thought as she slipped on her slippers.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Phoebe Jordan on April 20, 2008, 09:43:14 pm "I need to make a change in my life. I need a job." She said sighing as she dragged the sheet and comforter out of her way and got out of bed.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Shanghi on April 25, 2008, 09:26:45 am She staggered to the bathroom and got in the shower hoping the water would help wake her up.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Phoebe Jordan on April 25, 2008, 09:29:34 am She sighed as the cool water hit her face first and ran down her body.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Shanghi on April 25, 2008, 09:42:28 am Taking the bath sponge and shower gel, she slowly started to lather up.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Phoebe Jordan on April 25, 2008, 09:49:04 am "What am I going to do? I haven't even updated my resume since the last job that I quit." She says to herself as she finishs up with her shower.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Caoimhe on April 25, 2008, 01:48:48 pm Perhaps its time I should get my resume updated and done, she thought.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Phoebe Jordan on April 25, 2008, 01:51:59 pm She turned off the shower and reached for her towel and started drying herself off.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Shanghi on April 25, 2008, 08:14:55 pm Pulling on her favorite terry robe, she brushed out her damp hair and went to get dressed.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Phoebe Jordan on April 26, 2008, 08:24:00 am As she stepped out of her closet all dressed for the day to come the phone in the living room rings.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Shanghi on April 26, 2008, 09:23:43 am Hesitantly she answered, her heart beating rapidly, "Hello".
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Phoebe Jordan on April 26, 2008, 02:49:48 pm "May I speak to Ms. Paige Miller?" The man on the telephone asked nicely.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Shanghi on April 26, 2008, 09:18:56 pm "This is Paige," she said thinking that he had a nice voice, smooth and mellow.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Phoebe Jordan on April 27, 2008, 10:21:36 am "Ms. Miller my name is Joseph Anderson. I have some bad news."He said as his voice got softer and sympathetic.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Caoimhe on April 30, 2008, 11:28:10 am Paige went still and a feeling of uneasiness washed over her as she was taking a deep breath, willing herself to calm down she said " Yes? What would the bad news be?"
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Shanghi on April 30, 2008, 08:49:05 pm "Last night your Great-Aunt Glenda passed away and her will names you as the beneficiary of her estate" he replied.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Caoimhe on May 04, 2008, 07:43:40 pm Paige went cold and as she tried to say something, anything but nothing came out from her mouth and her throat felt constricted as memories of her dear Aunt Glenda washed over her.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Phoebe Jordan on May 05, 2008, 09:42:48 am "What happened? Was she in an accident? She was only 70 years old." Paige said trying to calm down and get control of her emotions.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Caoimhe on May 12, 2008, 12:15:12 am Paige could hear her heart beating wildly while she waited for Mr Anderson to reply and after what seems like an eternity, a voice spoke on the other side of the phone...
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Phoebe Jordan on May 12, 2008, 07:45:58 am "I'm sorry to say that there was a break-in and your Great-Aunt Glenda thought to fight off her attacker." Mr. Anderson said sympathicly.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Shanghi on May 12, 2008, 09:30:14 am "Oh no!" Paige sobbed as she crumpled to the floor.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Phoebe Jordan on May 14, 2008, 09:45:56 pm "I'm so sorry for your loss and I told the police that I would like to be the one to tell you. I'm sorry that I couldn't give this very sad news in person but I'm handle your Great-Aunt's affairs in Dallas right now. I would like to know if you will be available to fly down to Dallas to hear the reading of the will in 2 days time." He said calmly and soothingly.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Caoimhe on May 20, 2008, 10:14:02 pm "No problem" That is all she can manage to say..
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Phoebe Jordan on May 29, 2008, 08:09:00 am How could this have happened? Glenda was healthy last week when we had our weekly chats? How can she be dead? Paige thought to herself as she tried to get herself together.
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Caoimhe on June 04, 2008, 09:54:04 am "Miss Miller, are you there?" a deep voice sounded on the phone jolted her flow of thoughts
Title: Re: One sentence story Post by: Phoebe Jordan on June 04, 2008, 10:43:27 am "I'm sorry, yes I'm still here. I will be making my flight arrangements today and I will see if I can find a flight for tomorrow." Paige said. |
