Let's write a story, shall we?

Here are the rules:

1) Each post should only be one sentence long. If you absolutely can't get it all into one sentence, then use two, but keep it short.

2) You may post as many times as you like, but you must wait for somebody else to post before you can do so again. (You can't post two times in a row.)

3) Remain on topic. This does not mean that you have to follow a strict storyline of any sort, but keep your contribution at least tangentially relate to the previous few.

4) Try to make it interesting.

I'll begin:

She said she escaped from Area 54, but I didn't ask what was so bad about that voting district.

I did notice, however, that she had a certain 'alien' look about her; perhaps it was her green tinged skin and the way she kept asking for a "phone home".

I gave her a quarter for the payphone (not remembering that a phone call has never in my life time costed so little) and wondered at the strange effect of fluorescent lights on her skin.

[No, Sense. I think the story still might have life. Thanks though.]

It would of been easy to laugh at her and her misfortunes, had I not looked into her eyes and seen the pain and sorrow that they contained.

This led to a heated debate in the 'Myths, Legends and Conspiracies' thread at the SETI Cafe which ran for days and resulted in a few BOINCERs being carried out in body-bags.

What's a body-bag she asked cautiously; non-plussed, I thought to myself 'surely everyone knows what they are, or at least every human being knows...'

The lyrics must have clarified things for her because she replied, "Oh! Like the one I carry my spare body in."

Interestingly I noticed she had suction cups on her tongue! But what of her taste buds?

The woman replied to the wiggy guy, "I'm not your mate, mate! This man is mine now, and we are leaving for our own private tropical island in the Bahamas poste haste, to raise our gaggle of gigglers! Give me back my wig!"
