The fight had gone on all afternoon until we decided to call it a day and retired to our tents.

We reached the bottom of the elevator shaft, the door opened and there were two of the pistol's thugs waiting for us, but as Monk, one of Doc Savage's men had devised special chemical guns that would dissolve anyone we fired at, we shot them point-blank and they instantly turned into green goo.

@asmaahsan and Bighuey. Guys, we're not advancing the story. Nothing's moving. May I suggest, with all due respect,
that we take the information we get from the last post and incorporate it into the next post so that there is
a continuum. And movement toward an end, which is where all good stories end up. Hopefully sooner than later.
For example, the forum member who starts the story is responsible for its conclusion. anytime he sees a post
that is either nonsense or deviates significantly from his story line, he has to "right the ship" and get things back on track. Lets say I'm writing a story about Bonnie and Clyde and the famous end they met. it would go something like
this:
1. They meet in a small town in Texas, where there from.
2. They fall in love and get married.
3. They rob banks to support themselves and their extended family.
4. A robbery in Kansas goes bad. 3 of the gang die and 2 need medical attention to heal their
wounds. They're stuck in a hotel, running out of food, ammo, and money. Clyde knows its their last stand. What to do?
5. Here's my ending. The Kansas State Patrol is staged in a town 30 miles away. They're waiting for the FBI to show up.
When they do they'll combine forces and wipe B and C out.
6. Clyde attacks first. Law enforcement has no idea what Bonnie or any other female in the gang look like. No one does.
The four ladies dress up and drive into the town to go dancing. The "Staties"haven't gotten any since TR was President.
The ladies dance all night and end up in bed, each with her own trooper. After they've shed their uniforms, the ladies
take them and two cop cars and leave the town with them and the rest of the gang.
7. They cross the Border into Mexico the next day, and live happily ever after. They've still got the staties uniforms.
This is a very rough outline of what I'm talking about. In 7 posts they went from newlyweds to anonymity in Mexico.
THE END Whadya think my poet laureates?

Nice little look into the male psyche but with all due respect to your combined efforts, perhaps fame isn't just around the corner.

What's the next story.....?

The next story is The End(forever). Fame isn't around any corners I know. How have you been?

Nice! :) love the part where the couple robs banks to support extended family, thats too funny! Lol!

the story isn't moving because I was busy on the weekend. I have a life too you know. :) as for you, I like the way your mind works, but I have to say you also don't follow rules here. You don't post one line either. The point of the game is to have fun, so write anything top of your head. The next person can make it sound funnier or serious. That's their game.


Let the story go the way it's progressing. It's ok to have some random fun. :)

Hi Maud, welcome. I am a female here and I am having real fun reading the inside of a guys mind. ;)

We hurried inside but were too late - the pistol was now headed towards area 89, the rendezvous point of aliens from planet nunu on their last visit to the planet, in the hope to find some alien allies.

Thats what it is all about is having fun even if it is nonsense. Its a fun game.

Area 89, things were getting serious and we knew we would need reinforcements so we contacted the Japanese government to see if we could get Godzilla as a backup, and went to a rendevous point on Monster Island to regroup and make plans to invade Area 89.

Harrassed Godzilla had just became a new dad, and the Mrs was no mouse either, so he excused himself, leaving me no option but to tell our good friend Bruce Banner that I still had the hots for his girl, making him explode into THE HULK and beating the pulp out of the termites and the aliens who fled back to nunu in a hurry ; now leaving us to deal with the pistol himself!

We tracked him to Skull Island in the South Pacific, where he was trying to incite the natives to deal with us, they got on this wall and shouted Kong! Kong! Kong! and we knew what that meant so we entrenched ourselves and....

Got lucky as Lady Kong decided to unleash baby kong, a bouncy little monster, on the world - saved by a baby; darn, we had the luck of a leprechaun!

Baby K chased the pistol, grabbed him and threw him into our camp, we tied him up but during the night he was transported to a renegade Klingon spaceship, where they needed his help to resurrect the Star Trek TV series.

Luckily, I had connections in the Klingon community, an ex girlfriend had been a real Klingy, so after soothing her deflated ego, I got a chance to cross question the pistol, giving him a truth detector test.

The truth test revealed that as a child, the pistol's father would beat him with a rolled-up newspaper, and it caused him great psychological damage, and that resulted in his hatred for paper, so we contacted Dr. Slumbubble, the world famous authority on paper fetishes.

Wow....there's a lovely twist, a roll of paper...lol...:)

The doctor questioned him deeply until he broke down, crying hysterically, asking to write an essay of 100000 words, 'I will be a good boy' as his teacher made him write in school, revealing another reason for his hatred of paper.

We then set him up a blackboard and supplied him with a truckload of chalk, and told him to get with it, hoping that would cure him.
