Story Telling One Sentence at a Time

[SuperjazzyJa]

I'll begin a story with ONE sentence. The next poster types ONE sentence. The 3rd poster types ONE sentence and so on.



Once upon a time, there was an accountant named Tim.

 

[captouch]

Tim, like many other reasonable people, had an acute fear of spiders.

 

[4-2-7]

One day sitting at his deskTim thought he needed to do something.

 

[ETLS]

But he really liked reconing woofers.

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

So, he collected speakers that needed their woofers reconed.

 

[4-2-7]

But as he removed a driver, a spider crawled out of the box.

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

He was so freaked out, he jumped back throwing his screwdriver in the air.

 

[restorer-john]

Fell through his open window, plummeted eight stories down and bounced off a sidewalk awning.

 

[4-2-7]

Jazzy was just walking up to Tim's door to help him out and got hit in the head with something that shocked the **** out of him.

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

Gee, thanks.

After a trip to ER to confirm that my brain wasn't in any worse shape than before, I killed Tim's spider.

 

[restorer-john]

Tim's screwdriver (covered in his fingerprints) was picked up from the gutter by a thug and used to break in and rob the HiFi store opposite his building.

After forced entry, the thug realized the HiFi store had shut down in 1977 and was empty of all its stock with the exception of a single Bose 501 speaker.

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

The thug soaked the crappy Bose speaker with gasoline and torched it.

 

[restorer-john]

Tim sees the smoke, calls the fire brigade, and quickly runs downstairs, only to see the thug running out of the burning store and dropping his screwdriver, which of course, he picks up and waits for the police to arrive to give them a witness statement.

 

[captouch]

The police arrive, take Tim's statement, and the police expert-sketcher makes a composite drawing of the thug based on Tim's photographic memory.

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

Tim then went back to his apartment and finished a tax return for a client, had a couple Guinness extra stouts while his cat, Solomon slept on his lap and went to bed.

 

[4-2-7]

The next morning Tim awoken to the door bell, the Police where there to arrest him for the break-in and arson at the HiFi store. They found that the screw driver was used to get in and only his prints where on it.

 

[captouch]

Tim tried to explain that the screwdriver was his and thrown out the window when a spider interrupted his reconing, but as soon as the police chief found out Tim was into audio, all he wanted to talk about was what kind of turntable Tim had and whether he recommended the mono or stereo boxset of the Beatles collection.

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

Tim's lawyer showed up at the police station and explained that Tim had a CD player and not a turntable and got Tim out on bail along with his screwdriver and Tim went home and drank a screwdriver.

 

[4-2-7]

Tim got so drunk he passed out and forgot he left his front door open.
