Finish the sentence/paragraph/dialogue of the poster above you. http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/word-wars-prompts-sprints/threads/48157 strawmelon881 Hey, all! Not quite sure if this is in the right forum, I was waffling between Word Wars and Plot Doctoring. (Thus mods, feel free to move.) So the basic idea is to find out how to subsist on Snickers for 48 days. Haha, no, JK. The real idea is to, as the title suggests, finish the paragraph/sentence/dialogue/idea/action/plot, if you really wanted to/other related literary devices, syntax, and such. Anybody game? Well, I'll start with a dialogue: C1: "So, the other day I was--" C2: "Hey, you know that reminds me, the other day (Wednesday, I think it was) <em>I</em> was walking along and suddenly--" C1: "Stop interrupting me!" C3: "No, no, I want to listen to what [C2] has to say." C1: "Well, I started first so--" C2: "Like I was saying, I was walking along and suddenly I saw || --&gt; End it like that, yeah?

Might as well. :) I'll pick up from C2's last line. C2: "Like I was saying, I was walking along and suddenly I saw my Sifu!" C3: "Your seafood? How does that even make sense?" C1: "SIFU, not SEAFOOD, idiot. As in, "Kung Fu Master"? Remember when he trained in-- hey, isn't your Sifu in China?" C2: "I was getting to that! So I ran up to him and aimed a kick at his face, expecting him to block it, right? 'Cause that's what Shaolin Masters do." C1: "Oh no." C3: "You didn't." C2: "Turns out it wasn't my Sifu. He wasn't even Chinese." Um... not sure about what to leave... I'll get back to you on that.

How much longer could he go on hiding, running? He'd lost his shirt, his gun...how much longer until he lost his life running from this nonsense? He ran through the halls of the old wooden warehouse he had taken shelter in from the storm, stumbling and skittering over trash and around graffitied corners, listening to the hungry shadow screeching as it trailed him. Dawn was breaking on the other side of the boarded up windows but he could barely see where he was going until he got there. He burst into the main room of the warehouse, grateful to see more light, but it wasn't enough to dissipate the shadow behind him. He could hear it trilling as though taunting him. On the opposite end of the factory floor, beyond the rows and rows of dilapidated rust piles, he saw one window that was not boarded up, the glass broken, probably by vandals, leading to sweet freedom outside. Old crates had been stacked up underneath it like some bad idea, but he was willing to take the chance. He threw himself at the stack and scrambled up, feeling splinters lodge in his fingers, but the pain only spurred him to go faster. As he approached the window, feeling a god-like breeze cool the sweat on his brow, he heard the shadow screeching behind him as...

He scrabbled for purchase, trying desperately to get his legs underneath him, but the cold December night had left the floor coated in a thin sheen of ice.
