Chain Story!

Post by Anna »

Hi!

This is a chain story. I'll begin by writing a few sentences. Feel free to continue to add onto the story with your own couple of sentences, allowing the next person to continue where you left off.

It was a line of men and women standing in the middle of the road. Andy punched the brakes to the floor, hoping that he'd stop in time before hitting anyone. Ceramic pads slid across the tires, the friction causing them to slow down. Andy was still going too fast, so he turned the wheel and came to a jolting halt. He climbed out of his used sub-compact and went up to the woman in the center of the line, giving her a once over.

"What the hell are you doing?"he screamed. "Who are you people?!"

"I am," she started...

forum seems to be giving me some hard problems in seeing the attached images. None the less I am sure it's just a temporary thing, probably a small bug.

"I am Sueling," she stuttered. "Please help us..."

She collapsed and as if they were dominoe pieces that had been tapped by an invisible forefinger, the rest began to fall, wailing like banshees as they collapsed. The earth began to tremble and when Andy scanned the horizon, a treacherous...

"--headache."

Andy swore loudly. His head was spinning. This wasn't right--he was sitting in a doctor's office--across the desk, his legs kicked up on the desk was his psychiatrist.

"My head--" he continued.

"Another vision?" The doctor peered at him shrewdly.

"It just came to me...a group of men and women--then they vanished, then some demonic figure--I can't figure out what it is, it's a little different every time."

"And you've been having these visions since...?"

Andy looked into the doctor's face, his vision slowly coming back to focus; his breath came out in uneven gasps--as he registered his present, the familiar, dingy office--his torn, faded jeans...

"Why am I here? What has happened?" As he focused more on the present, trying to ignore the pain in his head, Andy looked into the eyes across the desk and realized ... this was not his doctor, this was the man in his dream. He had to leave. Slowly starting to rise, eyes on the impersonator .....

He said, "I'm going to go to the bathroom."
Andy walks out of the office and down the hallway, picking up speed as he gos along. he looks back at the door to the office and, since he sees no one there, he begins run. Out the door he gos when he realizes he is not in the real world, but in . . .

...his vision. The demonic figure had projected these images into his mind, making him see things that weren't truly there. Andy looked around at the desert surrounding once more. His eyes widened as he saw...

Sueling! The building Andy just left turned into a glass structure. Sueling was banging her fists, screaming and pounding on the door, desperately trying to get out. The door was locked and she was trapped inside. Andy gasped, horrified, and slowly turned his head to face the imposter, dreading who it could be. His eyes locked on the angry gaze of...
