We-Write...I Write...You Write?!

It’s that time again!

Brought to you by: @freedomtowrite

We’re holding another We-Write contest to win SBI, but this week will be a little different!
Instead of you finding a partner and then creating a completed story together, I will have the first part done, and it’s up to you to finish it!

Below you will find the story that I have written in 5 minutes. Then in the comment section or in your own post, it will be your turn to finish what I started!

Directions

This contest is pretty simple. If you choose to write your own post, all you need to do is copy and paste my portion of the story with your story! But how do you show which part is mine and which is yours?

That’s easy! All you need is the > at the beginning each paragraph of my story. For example:

>One day a long time ago, the Yeti was sitting with his fancy bride under a mighty oak tree when a sing-song bird come over delivering a message.

>“My dear sweet neighbors,” sang the sing-song bird. “I have come bearing urgent news from the distant mountains. The leader of the mountains is on his way now to conquer these lands and burn all the trees down to stubs!”

>“We cannot let this happen!” the Yeti said in his ruggedly handsome voice. He then pulled his sword out and charged up the mountain to defend the lower lands.

Now that will look like this!

One day a long time ago, the Yeti was sitting with his fancy bride under a mighty oak tree when a sing-song bird come over delivering a message.

“My dear sweet neighbors,” sang the sing-song bird. “I have come bearing urgent news from the distant mountains. The leader of the mountains is on his way now to conquer these lands and burn all the trees down to stubs!”

“We cannot let this happen!” the Yeti said his ruggedly handsome voice. He then pulled his sword out and charged up the mountain to defend the lower lands.


Is anything else different?

The Start of the Story

By: @freedomtowrite

“So, just give me the basics,” she barked at him.

“I…uh…I…”

“Man up soldier!” she yelled at his face. A little spittle flew between her yellowed teeth along with a piece of broccoli, both landing firmly on his glasses.

His fevered brain couldn’t make heads or tails of what he’d just seen, and he certainly couldn’t wrap his head around why she called him soldier. They were both tourists visiting the Eiffel Tower on the same day. He had never met this gigantic woman before in his life. He regretted being the only English speaking person here.

He swiped his glasses off with the cuff of his sleeve, leaving streaks behind.

“Well, what do you think it was? What was that big boom just now!?”

“It looked--” he began not wanting to believe his own eyes. But as he tried to finish his sentence, a large shadow covered the clear blue sky. They both turned to look towards the heavens. His knees trembled as his worst fears were coming to life.

There it is! I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with! Set that timer and let it flow!
