Add to the story! 🍃

Hi fellow writer berries! :grin:
I absolutely love @autumn.leaves post, ‘Add to the story in Amharic.’ :green_heart:
So this is an idea inspired by her post!
Were going to write a story together, one sentence at a time. :hugs: I’ll leave the decision of when to close the story and start a new one up to you guys. If you think it’s getting boring, or not really going anywhere, then just stop and start fresh.
Xx

I’ll start-

“Savannah!” A scream echoed through the air as gunshots rang painfully in my ear.

“Savannah!” A scream echoed through the air as gunshots rang painfully in my ear.
I grimaced and crouched behind a crumbling brick wall, hoping that [name_u]Jack[/name_u] would be able to find me even though I had to be silent.

I grimaced and crouched behind a crumbling brick wall, hoping that Jack would be able to find me even though I had to be silent. My breaths coming shakily, I traced a finger over the necklace he had given me months ago.

[name_f]My[/name_f] breaths coming shakily, I traced a finger over the necklace he had given me months ago. It must of cost a fortune, especially in these times, it was smooth and silver, with mine and his initials carved into it.

@Vintage_Vibes

I should have mentioned that! I’ll leave that decision with you guys. If you feel the story has nothing much to give, go ahead and start a new one!

I never expected my dog to start talking.

I never expected my dog to start talking. His face contorted in a way that sent chills down the back of my neck- it almost reminded me of a skinwalker.
