Ok, here'e the deal. A thread in which someone begins a story , and the others on the community adds the next piece of the story. I've had good sucess with it in other boards, and hoping it will work well here with all of these creative and devious minds. And in the spirit of deviousness, I propose a Film Noir type story (Maltese Falcon, Marloe, et al). in which deviousness is a way of life. As long it fits within the theme of the story, pretty much anything goes.
The rain pours down on the darkened city, pooling on sidewalks and in the street where lifted oil slicks reflect a rainbow multitude of erratically flickering neon signs peddling their wares. A lone rattling taxicab trolls down the street looking for the late night fare. Gusts of wind blows loose garbage around, a rolling soda can disturbs the silence left in the wake of the cab, a newspaper sweeps along the ground under the awning of a building. Dogs bark and thunder rumbles in the distance. The smell of mud, refuse and the sharp smell of rain permeates everywhere. The man in the alleyway turns up the collar on his topcoat, pulls his hat down low. Digging in his pockets for several moments, he finally produces a pack of cheap cigarrettes and his lucky zippo lighter. He lights one up, pulls up his fallen collar, and peers out onto the abandoned street...
Your turn, folks!
