The premise is you contribute to a story going with three words, and every person posting in reply must add three new words that make grammatical and syntactical sense, and a storyline evolves. It's actually pretty simple, and just follows the regular SETI posting guidelines. Let's see where it goes... Rules: 1) Post three words that make sense in a sentence related to the previous three words. 2) Prepositions and articles, like, of, to, from, and a are permitted and not counted in the three words. 3) Only the creator of the thread can post an ending. The last person who posts before the ending will be the next person to start a new story. I'll start the story... Once upon a time, The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

three birds flew. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |
