So someone said somewhere that we need new topics or something.... so lets start a stories thread (its been done before in "description game" but this one is specifically for stories).
-Any member may contribute to the story. It can be comedic, sad, complex, simple, emotional, intricate or whatever but it has to go with the flow of the story. Don't be shy to post, even if you think your english sucks, this is a place where you can practice without fear of ridicule.
-No crude language. Inclusive of character dialogues.
-Indicate in some way where you start your own addition to the story, but copy/paste the rest into your post too, so that the whole script remains cohesive.
Okay I'll start:
He sat on the swing, swaying slowly in the breeze, and pondered on his life. Two years earlier, all his goals had been to complete his O'Levels, get high grades in his A'Levels and be admitted into a good University. Now, all he wanted, all he hoped to achieve was to keep his family fed, clothed and sheltered. His father had died in front of a hospital, waiting for aid as the cold-hearted doctors demanded their selfish fees before they would even deign to see to the poor victim of a hit and run. His mother had gone into a near catatonic state from shock, barely responding or talking.He was the eldest brother of three siblings, and he had to look after them on his own now. How priorities shift, how trivial and meaningless those old dreams seem to be now, he thought. A light wind ruffled his hair. He looked up at the bright moon, feeling as barren inside as the moon looked, a chunk of deformed, crater-ridden rock hanging in the night sky...
-Yup, its a sad story. Someone name the poor guy and give him a nice happy ending to a story that starts so hopelessly. Or maybe just start your own story if you don't like this one...
