Here's my basic idea: we'll write a story, line by line. I'll post the first line, you post the second, and so on and so forth. It can only be one sentence and should keep the story moving. Let's see where it goes! Anyone want to try?
I'll start:

Jessie never expected to see a leprechaun whizzing down the street on a unicycle, but that is exactly what she saw as she walked to school.

Take it away, guys! :D

This sounds like fun! :D


She kept walking, only to see a unicorn with a dwarf riding on it's back gallop after the leprechaun a few moments later. :D

She wondered to herself, 'Is this some kind of carnival act, or were her eyes playing tricks on her?'

Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Suddenly a powerful wind swept her off her feet, and in the time it took to blink, she was riding on the back of a unicorn in fields of yellow daisies.

The unicorn suddenly stopped, turned to her, and said, "Where to, milady?"

She frowned and looked at the unicorn, "Hm, I don't suppose you'd know of any good donut shops, would you?"

This is fun :D

"Nope, haven't got one of those," the unicorn replied, and continued galloping across the field.

Well, at least I'll be able to enjoy yummy bagels she thought while envisioning the cream cheese goodness.

This is fun!! :dieshappy:

Unfortunately, though the unicorn tried desperately to get Jessie to the bagel shop, a storm arose and knocked the unicorn off course.

This caused the unicorn and Jessie to end up at the edge of a cliff.

A blue elevator-looking box landed in front of them with a thud.

A man stepped out wearing a bow-tie and suspenders. "Is this where the daleks are?"

"What are 'daleks'?" asked Jessie. "Are they like bagels?"

"Absolutely not!" the man exclaimed. "They are cyborgs of the greatest danger! Have you seen any of them around here?"

"Oh. Well, I don't think so," said Jesse, "though I don't know what they look like. Still, I hope you find them. Could you by any chance point us towards the bagel shop before you continue your search? We seem to have lost our way...."

"Better than just tell you," the man exclaimed, "I can take you there in my... 'box.'"

"It's just a police call box. How are you going to take me anywhere in there?" asked Jesse. She seemed to be asking a lot of questions today.

Jesse looked at the man in bewilderment. "I don't believe you," she exclaimed. "Be on your way!"

Very well." With that the man stepped into his police box and, with a whooshing noise, it vanished.

Suddenly, a bagel fell from the sky and landed in Jessie's lap.
