Hi! I'm not
Chatterbox: Inkwell
Hi! I'm not
Hi! I'm not trying to copy anyone (sorry if someone else has already made something that's basically the same) and I'm still new to the Chatterbox, but I thought that we could do something where people can write a story together. Basically, one person writes a sentence that starts a story, and the next person writes another sentence that continues that, and then the next person writes another sentence that continues that, and so on. Is this a good idea?
First sentence:
The wind was fierce that day, whipping through the gray cloak that belonged to the figure standing on an outcropping.

Good idea! I'm so curious about who the cloaked figure is. And yeah, we can move back to Amber if you want.

This thread has beeen glitching and saying it was last posted on 54 years and 18 weeks ago by Anonymous. I’m hoping that this post will fix that.

Amber woke with a start. “What a strange dream,” she whispered.

She rubbed her eyes, trying to remember exactly what happened.

In the dream, everything was dark and shadowy, so you couldn't tell what was happening very well. Except for one thing: A wolf. He was repeating a phrase over and over:"Come. Come to the old house. Come."
SORRY that was way more than one sentence :/

It's okay :) Maybe we should change the sentence limit. Anyway, next sentence:
Amber shrugged, getting out of her bed.

Just a clarification, this is still at night. Oh and maybe we should make the sentence limit three sentences? You can do less than that if you want, but no more than that.
She walked to the fridge to get a glass of water, but heard a bark from behind her. Bruno must’ve seen a bird, she thought, going to grab him so he wouldn’t annoy the neighbors. But there was something much larger than a dog waiting for her on the lawn.

She crept cautiously over, and in the dim glow of the moon, she could barely make out what it was---a wolf.
(May 2, 2024 - 11:30 pm)
She froze, and then saw another creature making its way over to the wolf. Bruno?!

"Bruno! Wait!" Amber forgot to keep her voice down in her anxiety. But, despite her pleading, the little Jack Russle Terrier continued to prance up to the wolf.
I know that no one's posted here in a while, but I love this idea and I think we should continue it. So PLEASE, someone, write another sentence.

Sorry I didn't see this, or I would have added to it sooner! Next sentences:
There was nothing Amber could do but watch as Bruno stopped and barked at the wolf. Had the wolf just moved its head up and down, or was she imagining it?

Hi, I’m so glad you want join us writing this story! Check out the world building thread on Inkwell for more info about the story.
Suddenly, she noticed a figure at the end of the street, with a dark hood. She waved toward Bruno and the Wolf. The wolf seemed to... nod, perhaps, towards Amber, and Bruno grabbed her pant leg and started dragging her towards the figure. “Bruno, no! Bad dog!” Amber yell-whispered. Was she being kidnapped by her own dog?

Amber shook her leg and managed to get Bruno to lose his grip. The figure started to approach her.
