As part of the wonderful annual Parish Dinner on November 4, we played a number of games: Kerplunk, floor Jenga, Dominoes, Scrabble and this rather peculiar sentence-completion game – Fast Fiction Writer! Each line was composed only knowing the one immediately preceding it. The innovative result seems worth sharing:
It was a dark and stormy night
And Sarah did not know what
To do so she went up to the attic
And ate all the mice she could find
But with a few of the leftover mice she made pie
And it was surprisingly delicious.
It was so delicious, I ate it all.
But afterwards my stomach hurt.
Pain clarifies the mind, I though as I walked
Through the forest.
Suddenly I caught sight of something unexpected
Before my wondering eyes did appear
A very large Coyote running towards me. OH!
Being brave, I released the tiger!!
But lo, the tiger chased me instead!
What shall I Do? Me thinks me dead!
“Avast!” The pirate cried.
You must walk the plank
Into the sea of balloons
When suddenly a giant whale ate them.
Just as suddenly, they came back out of the top of the whale
And then they swum to the closest shore.
On the beach they found a strange creature
It did not move and was not responsive.
But then one would not expect an inert Dalek to move.
Dalek, who is Dalek, he must be able to move!
Ooops, I was wrong, it was Dr. Spock!
Who? Dr. Who….
Who? The whos who live in Whoville!
Except Cindy Lou Who (who is much more than 2)
She must be at least 5
5? Years or centuries?
Appears to be millenniums
Said a scary invisible voice.
“I am the father that you thought
might take you to Vegas.”
Don’t gamble away my inheritance!
It’s $20 whole dollars!
$20 for that piece of junk?
Junk? My jewellery is an heirloom
A bequest from my Aunt Mildred
A pig, named Sally
Was in the farm yard
And started eating our cow.
What? I am vegetarian and I want grains
I want fruit. It’s much yummier. ☺
Why eat fruit when you can eat candy?
Wondered the CEO of Campbell’s Foods Corp.
And with that, he promptly went to find that girl
With the mouse pie.
THE END (for now).
