So, what's this about?
# You write a bit of the story. Doesn't need to be a novel, maybe just a couple paragraphs or so.
# When you feel you've written enough, you finish your post by providing three options for the next writer. The amount can be changed if the situation calls for it, but it should generally be three options.
# The next person who posts picks one of the options and continues the story based on it.
And so it goes on until we decide to finish the story up. We can go in a strictly serious direction, or we can go completely random with the storyline. It's all up to you. And, this is for anyone who wants to join in - no particular writing skill needed, although since you're posting it's assumed that you supposedly at least like writing somewhat.
Also, if you're planning on writing a longer post, you may put a post with "Placeholder" which you can then edit, to avoid getting hijacked while you're writing.
Ask if you got any questions.
Here we go!
------------------------------------------------------------
Terrible things, airplanes. Large, noisy, and nauseating. The food is disgusting, the service is subpar, the passengers are obnoxious and the in-flight movie is always Snakes on a Plane.
Not to mention the constant grippling fear of both wings tearing off thanks to the air pressure and the plane body spiralling down into a pit of certain doom.
And yet, here you are.
You awkwardly waddle across the walkway carrying your tonnes of luggage, spend a few minutes stuffing it into the compartment above your seat, check your ticket one extra time to make sure you're on the right plane and you've gotten the right seat, and then make yourself as comfortable as you can. It's a window seat, luckily; you only risk one person sitting next to you instead of one on each side, and you can look out through the window and observe the pretty air and clouds whenever you have enough presence of mind to do so (rather than occupying one of the barf bags). You let out a sigh, less from relief and more from the fact that you've just been holding your breath ever since you stepped on to the plane.
The "no smoking" light turns on. The flight attendands do their standard flight safety rounds. The plane gets ready to take off.
A finger taps on your shoulder.
You turn ever so slightly, noticing the passenger next to you in your peripheral vision.
- "Hey...hey, there. I need your help with something."
What do you do?
A. Listen in on the passenger.
B. Ignore the passenger and grab a pamphlet to read from the seat in front of you.
C. Call a stewardess and accuse the passenger of harassment.
