writing challenge 18

this is, essentially, a writing challenge for sean fallon over at the equiatic bind – he’s jolly good ihmhoaho – or some such thing – – who has written a load of mostly funny stuff – the stuff that isn’t funny is intentionally so – which include some writing challenges, such as pick a random news story and write about it, write a recipe – which i think is still my favourite for i continue to laugh at the souffle line despite my assertion to the contrary – and also one set by me; write a story without repeating any words; and a good job she did too considering the difficulty; so now i’ve decided on another one which i can be actively involved in, and as i thought about it, so can anyone who reads it

i’ll start writing a story, and then sean will write the next bit, then me, then sean, then me, then sean, then me, then sean, then me, then sean, then me, then sean, then me, then sean, then me, then sean, then me, then sean and so on &c, until either one of us dies or gets bored – the latter, by the very nature of this idea, should not occur; the former, should i secure next year’s grant, likewise – but i thought it doesn’t have to be only sean and me; if anyone wants to write the next bit also then please do, and i shall reply to any that i receive through pingbacks or whatever – please be patient though; not because of the vast amount of stuff i envisage needing a response, but merely because my time in front of a computer is limited – and should anyone who reads your blog wish to carry on your version of the story then that would be fine by me – if it’s at all possible to get any of these back to me i’d be most grateful from a purely curious point of view

so there we are;  the next part of a story can be one word or a thousand, but a subject/paragraph change should really be left to the other guy; and i guess the challenge is to make the story actually work, obviously there’s no pre-thought-out plot to hold us back so bring in the characters and let them loose…..anything goes…..so those are the rules i guess – and i’m going to use capital letters and fullstops…………..now where to begin…………..

 

My pulse quickened when I saw her…..it wasn’t her beauty – like the hair upon her head; she didn’t have any – although the limp was pronounced but not eye-catching; her squint was noticeable but not headache-inducing; whilst the teeth that protruded from her cheeks left one a little startled, the drool appeared to have a note of charm to it, as did the mole…….what in fact made the pulse quicken
