Has this been tried before? The idea is that each person contributes to an ongoing story, you can take it in any direction you like but try to make it into a readable form, mysterious, funny, romantic, or whatever. I'll start unless there is some objection. Eva was waiting at the bus stop...

James Bond type movies, whatever that's called same question

Am doing well today - two reprimands in the one morning - will endeavour to stop kicking the sand in the sand box.:rolleyes: Question: What is your favourite genre of movie?
