Five-word Story

[beags]

I sat there contemplating, if
I pull the mask and
he is ugly. There is
still that hot body. time
for mouth to mouth resuscitation

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

Tilting his head back and slowly
removing the mask, hand shaking,
she suddenly gasped. "What on
earth? It's HIM! They told
me he'd been killed while .....

[Jaguar]

Away on that fishing trip
that he took with the
boys. She thought "hmm something
stinks to all high holy".
Then she slowly walked away .....

[Virgil Showlion]

and thought how far he'd
fallen. Indeed, the man she'd
unmasked was "EE Story Man"—
the personification of EE storytelling.
And mercy, how he stunk!

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

"How could this have happened?
Who would do this to.....
VIRGIL!?!?"... our master story teller.
She furled her brow, thinking....
"Who recently held a grudge???"

[Virgil Showlion]

Who hadn't recently held a
grudge was the more appropriate
question. Uncia lovers, murderous rivals,
posters jealous of Virgil's remarkable
charisma—all of them had

[Jaguar]

No one held a grudge
for the unremarkable one named
Virgil. Pitiful person that he
was, so venomous towards innocent
Snow Leopards that we loved.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAW!

DISQUALIFIED. Not a continuation of the story, or even sentence-wise contiguous with the previous post.

Try again.

I did.

The end of a story
I suppose, of a leopard-
who was spotted on board..
Some folks loved old Snowy
and some, I reckon not ..

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

And on we move, forward...
To a new chapter and
A new quest. The villainous
Leopard slayer had met his
Match. A new day dawned......

[Deleted]

noon day as our forecast...
In wonder we anticipate adventure,
knowing history will repeat itself..
We sit on needling pins..
Suddenly, doggone-it, a chipmunk..

[Virgil Showlion]

But not just any chipmunk.
A magical flying chipmunk from
the deep within the fetid
Sugiweed swamp, reputed to be
the smelliest place on Earth.

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

It leapt from limb to limb
The tree branches quivered as the creature jumped.
It stopped - suddenly turning it's beady eyes
Spotting a peanut on the ground,
It fell to the earth - banging its tiny skull on a rock.

(This thread's sure an oldie-mouldy - as I like to call old pics I post on F/B).

[Virgil Showlion]

The accident didn't go without
notice, however. Hiking beneath the
forest bowers, a naturalist by
name of Millicent Tidy witnessed
the creature striking the rock.

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

... he approached cautiously
Not wanting to frighten the little beast,
He knelt...and began applying CPR
... an eyelid fluttered,
then the little creature gasped for air...

[Virgil Showlion]

Millicent stepped back so that
she was no longer hovering
over it, mindful of not
worsening its distress. But to
her great surprise, the chipmunk


(I forgot to ask before: Are we abandoning the mechanic of five lines of five words each? That was the original premise of the game.)

(Also, with apologies, our protagonist is about to go through a very sudden gender change. "Millicent" is an exclusively female name. But to balance it out, we'll make the chipmunk a male, and you can name him. )

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

(I forgot about the "5 words per line" rule - I only remembered the "five lines" per post rule.

The Chipmunk's name: "Clyde". (Millicent and Clyde has a nice ring to it)

[Jaguar]

Ran after Virgil cause he
loved snow leopards so much
to the chipmunks dismay. But
then the chipmunk decided I'll
teach him a great lesson.

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

That lesson was to be
Sometimes you feel like a
nut, sometimes you don't.
Clyde was back on his
little feet - thanks to Millicent.
