Hi everyone!

I'd like to play a simple game for anyone interested: Let's write a story one sentence at at time. It can be as serious, or as silly, as we want. Let's also do our best to follow the rules of grammar and typography. I hope this will be a fun exercise for everyone involved.

Rules:

1. When posting, reply directly to the most recently posted message.

2. Avoid typos and grammatical errors. Do not post run-on sentences.

3. Do not edit your message after posting, unless you want to correct any typos or grammatical errors.

4. Wait at least one hour after posting a reply to let others have a chance.

5. Do not reply directly to yourself.

6. Adhere to the site rules and regulations (obviously).

 

I'll start:

John woke up early to start his Saturday morning routine.

Eggs, toast, coffee, and the news on the screen.

Then he brushed his teeth, all nice, white and clean.

John prided himself on his meticulous nature knowing that any misstep or mis-ordered action could lead his whole day into chaos.

Unfortunately, other ideas had his wife, Eos.

'Other Ideas' was the pseudonym of the government agent assigned to survey him through his laptop's camera.

Unbeknownst to John, he had met the government agent before despite not knowing the truth of Eos's whereabouts.

The agent, codenamed "Other Ideas", was in fact John's estranged six-year-old son, named Jason.

"How did a six-year-old end up a government agent?" You may be wondering
