STORY STRING -- Starting a story here.
I am gonna start a story here. You take it from my setup and add some, then the next person, and so on. Please stay away from BODILY FUNCTIONS, so that it will not get locked. In fact, that will be the title! Heh.

Bodily Functions

Joe was worried. He drummed his fingers on his rolltop desk, then glanced at the phone again. Nothing in over an hour. Why? He opened the desk drawer.

(OK...NEXT!)

1. The pistol was still there... and it was still loaded
he had hoped that ignoring it would make it just go away.

3. He glanced again at the clock, poured a shot of whiskey
and swallowed hard. His banker would be arriving soon, he knew.

"I never thought it would come to this." he thought.

4. It had started out so innocently...
just a way to idle away a few vacant hours. The chatroom didn't really advertise. Hell, he wasn't even sure how he'd found it.

6. "How could she?" he asked himself, as he picked up
the holster. Inside, the weight of the .45. He heard a knock at the door. It startled him.

8. "Christ", he muttered.
He placed the gun back in the desk drawer, closed it, downed another shot of whiskey and got up to open the door.

9. Out sprang a black mamba. It bit Joe on the nose, and he died. The end.
Well that was kinda short lived, eh? :evilgrin:

11. But suddenly, he came back to...he only had died for a moment.
He looked up, and saw the doctor standing over him, antidote syringe in his hand.

"It's a good thing I was just outside the door," the doc said.

13. But was it really a coincidence, he wondered...
The doctor just happening by? Or was this another one of her games.

16. Wait...green chocolate?
What the hell kind of doctor was this anyway?

Then he noticed the terrible silence.

18. And still...that uncanny silence.
Broken only by an omnipresent sense of ... dislocation.

20. His only reply was an insidious grin, full of sharp, pointed...
...incisors! He tried to move, then realized...

He was utterly helpless.

21. "HOLY SHIT! I am utterly helpless!" he thought.
The doctor leered down at him.

"Now then," the doctor said.

24. But the leering face of the doctor intruded...
...he couldn't wish his way out of this one!

25. "No," Joe said, closing his eyes. "I know you have her."
"She would have called by now if you didn't. I won't gi've you the password."

The doctor slapped Joe, hard across the face.

"You fool!' he spat at Joe. "You will give it to me, or she'll DIE!"

Just then, a board in the floor in the next room creaked. The doctor whirled around to face the doorway.
