Should we try to write a story today?

(Each person makes up three sentences to add to a running story. The third sentence has to have a plot twist starting with "suddenly…" Any messages can be in parenthesis like this. I'll start.)

Princess Elmira swam as fast as the current in the deep sea. Her mermaid tail whipped around like kelp, and her arms swept through the briny waters, rippling the beams of sunlight. Suddenly, she saw a hot pink styrofoam pool noodle floating above her...

In a matter of 15 minutes the benzos had kicked in. She was now feeling calm and focused. She then realized her Claire Weeks book was hidden in a pocket in the pouch... she had the paperback version.

Suddenly she saw a boat in the distance. She took her pool noodle and her Claire Weeks book and floated towards the boat.

She was hoping they would be serving lunch

After trying to board the boat for what seemed like an age she finally managed to overcome the warm glow of the medication …she flipped onto deck …slimily …it was there she realises it was actually a ship ,a 👻 ship 🚢 …holy moly she thought and suddenly it dawned on her it was nearly Halloween 🎃

As Princess Elmira cautiously floated closer and closer to the boat, the aroma of roasted meats, sweet fruits and freshly baked goods danced upon a gentle breeze down to greet her. She flushed self-consciously as her stomach roared in excitement, reminding her that she had accidentally forgotten to eat. When suddenly a familiar face sporting a wide toothy grin and a great black beard streaked with white looked over the side of the boat, spotting her immediately - it was Captain Butters!

Princess Elmira reached the empty boat and a good thing, too cuz she realized she took more benzos than needed.

She reached into her pouch for the Claire Weeks book to see if there was any reference as to what to do about overdosing in the middle of an empty vast beautiful sea, but the paperback was drenched beyond recognition.

Suddenly she remembered a passage in the book that said just float and go with it even though she was slowly losing her grip on the boat……

Suddenly she remembered that scene from Titanic where Rose was saved by floating on a piece of wood. She also remembered that there was no Jack for her to make her stay alive. As she lay on her board drifting a big hand reached up from under the sea....

Dolphin14 in reply tohypercat54

That hand belonged to the most handsome lifeguard she had ever seen.

He said it looks as if you've lost your noodle, your back pack and your Claire Weeks book. She said yes she left them on the ship when she was dining.

He helped her onto his surfboard. Her piece of wood floated off with the waves.

Suddenly black clouds began to cover the sky

Just as the princess was about to drown,the waves subsided,the klonopin began to wear off ,she realised she’d been reading 50 shades of sky ,the lifeguard a mere dream , her heart sank ….she was cold but then felt a warm sensation down her tail ,oh no she thought…not again as she realised the seafood she’d eaten was off and she’d soiled her mermaid tena pants ….it was running down her tail …..suddenly the sun came out again isinatra on a surfboard appeared on the horizon .

Dolphin14 in reply toSillysausage234

She was deeply embarrassed and ashamed she let that slip. She knew better than to swim when her IBS was acting up.

She thought, how am I going to float this one?

Seeing Isinatra made her feel comforted. She yelled out her real life name... Becky? Becky is that you? I've had an accident in more ways than one can you help me please?

Becky approached with a kind caring look on her face. She knew she would be safe now.

Suddenly a great white approached.....

... and dove out of sight. Terror filled her as she circled right, left, looking, looking...

Suddenly, from beneath, she felt a hard bump...

(Hey Dolphin. Could your pod maybe help the poor princess before it's too late?)

Dolphin14 in reply toNothing_but_books

The mist and fog were quite heavy. The princess would recognize that hair anywhere it was Becky. But wait, someone else??? Who could it be.

The princess squinted ( which she did not like to do for fear of frown lines) what? Could it be? Becky and SS???

I can't see said the princess. Are you in a boat?? No princess we are with dolphins pod🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬

As they got closer the princess could see Becky holding her noodle and her back pack. Arms in the air SS was waving her bottle of benzos and her Claire Weeks book!

All is good with the world now:)

The rest of Becky’s torso appeared through the mist and she was walking above the water tossing her long blonde hair away from her face as she always does when she is needed so she could see who is in distress and through all this, her high heels managed to stay on which she used sometimes to fend off sharks of many varieties.

Becky saw the shark and assumed that was what NBB summoned her for so she approached the shark, putting her body between the shark and NBB.

Suddenly, Becky made the decision….she approached the shark slowly and cautiously , ever winking and smiling for distraction, threw two handfuls of blue pills in the sharks big walk in size mouth, waited a few minutes cuz the shark was mesmerized by the undulations that Becky was so well practiced at and then Becky slid off her stilettos and bashed the crap out of the shark until he looked like his head just had laser surgery……The heels were Louis Vuitton’s, but what are friends for. (Ok..Becky cheated at the number of sentences. Handcuff her, she’s used to it)
