The One Sentence Story Thread!

[Cobalt]

After goofing off with the Chat Box, FM and I had the idea to make this a regular little game.

Here's how it works. Every Wednesday, someone will start a story using only a single sentence. The next person to post continues the story, but again, with only one sentence. At the end of the week, the story will be compiled into a single response, and a new story started.

A few quick rules: Don't over-reply. Try to keep it to at most, 5 a day. We want as many participants as possible, and not to look like spam. To make the thread easier to read, please disable your signature in the reply options.

Try to leave the end of your sentence as an opening for the next person to add on to. Example:

One day, Billy Everyperson was walking down the street, when suddenly...

Follow this with:

He couldn't believe what was flying through the air, it was...

Etc. If your contribution seems more like a sentence ending, that's OK, Just start a new sentence after, but only one.
If we can't get enough replies, we can shorten the length of time on each story. Okay, ready?
