In 50 words or less

Postby Voice Caile » Mon May 26, 2003 2:13 pm

This is sort of one of those ongoing story type things we all used to do as kids in school or for no reason at all. Basically how it works is we'll start off with a bit of a story, min 20 words, max 50, and each person afterwards will add to the story in the same way, min 20 words and max 50.

As for rules, I want each poster to wait until at least two people have made an entry before them so we get a bit of variety in the story, and as much participation as possible. I know there are many brilliant folks out there, and hey, how hard can it be to write 20 words that don't even have to make all that much sense right?

For the moment that's pretty much the only two rules, we'll see how it goes and see if we need any other than that once we get underway.


Happening. It was all happening far too fast. She was only ten years old, or at least, she was only ten years old yesterday. Today though, today was another thing entirely.

Today, as she was getting out of the house to catch the bus to school, she was kidnapped by 2 men, dressed in black suits, wearing matrix-style sunglasses and waving large guns.

Of course, it turned out they were just following the latest trend in 'blind people’s fashion' magazine, and had mistaken her for a runaway guide dog. She wasn’t impressed by their mistake and kicked one man in the shin before running away.

Suddenly her Hello-Kitty cell rang. It was her not-so-best friend Fee Fee.

"Feef! Blind gangsters thought I was their guide dog and-"

"Am I in a pigtail or bow kinda mood?"

"Feef! You're not listening to me!"

"Am too!……….pigtails then?"

"Goodbye!"

"Don't hang up on me! Bad dog! Bad bad-"

Throwing down her Hello Kittyâ„¢ cell phone, she ran as fast as her legs could take her.

She tore around a corner and saw exactly what she was looking for, The Bill Gates Mall. She knew it was in there somewhere.

Probably in the bathroom...

Of course trying to find any bathroom in that place was nearly impossible, let alone trying to find the right bathroom. She nearly ran into him when she came tearing around the corner to find the damned thing.

The Llama had shrunk since last time she used it, but it would do for her current machinations! Before she woke it up, the windows had to be wound down, as it appeared it had crashed during the night....
She gave it a boot and the Llama sprung into life

Her friends all called her insane for naming a computer at the local internet cafe, but she didn't mind. Privately she always thought she was a little different anyway, and it amused her when people gave her worried, paranoid looks.

People such as the odd stereotypical Irish fellow dressed in green peering over her shoulder. It amused her for a while, until she realized he wasn't leaving.

He spoke in a drunken drawl, as odd stereotypical Irish fellow dressed in green often do.

Yup, said the girl. And then the irish man walked off into the bathroom to smoke a few (dozen) marijuana joints and consuming several gallons of irish whiskey as the girl looked up male porn in the internet cafe...

Suddenly she felt a tap on her sholder. The drugged up drunk was back, and angry, because when he was standing over her sholder, we was looking at the lattest hello kitty stuff. But all the man was able to see was Pay Pl.

He asked, "....

She grabbed for the alcohol swabs she kept in her purse and pulled her hand away from the man to clean it, a disgusted look on her face.

"No, no cows. A few sheep though"

"NOOOOO, no sheep"

Sobbing the man collapsed in a tirade of inaudible words, then spoke, still weeping.

"My grandda' used to have a sheepfarm, southwest of Dublin. Oh, we had pink flowers and rainbowdaisies in the meadow. And his greatgrandda', who...oh... I gotta pee..." The man darted off a second time.

As soon as he darted off, she ran out the door. The Llama had not helped her find the Divine Hello Kittyâ„¢ Crown, so she must search for it elsewhere in the mall.

She sat on a bench, and looked at the shop names, one must be the correct place...

Of course, by accident, she stumbled upon a cache of high explosives hidden by alqaida terrorists several months ago, unfortunately for alqaida the explosives were filled with plastic sex toys.

Realizing her good fortune, the girl decided to set up a table in the mall and sell the sex toys. She would use the money she'd earn to help her in her search.

Everything was going perfectly until a mall rent-a-cop came up to her and said :

"Look ma'am, I've appeared to have lost my badge. I think it dropped down your shirt when we bumped into each other awhile back. I'll have to search you for it, if you'll just step over here please?"

He indicated a hallway off to one side of the corridor, feigning innocence.

deciding that she needed to continue finding the lost hello kitty crown, she grabbed the largest dildo on the table and stuffed into the pedophilic cop's mouth and went happily on her way.

The look of the cop's face was of priceless caliber when she pushed the stunned man aside, pondering how she'd came here. Salesman, Sex toys, Explosives, Llamas, Irishmen, Bathro.... "Bathrooms!" she cried out. Oh the looks, "perfect" she thought, "really, I'm not insane." Grinning mischievously she sought the toilet signs.

She made it finally to the bathroom to find all stalls occupied. After an hour wait a man came out, and to her surprise it was the blind man from before. He grabbed her and threw her out the door saying "Im here to protect you." "From what?" she asked. He replied "From that......."

The Llama had grown great beastly claws and redeyed tentacles, as it charged towards her she gained a temporary reprieve as it crashed headlong into a fat conductor stepping out of another cubicle
