Default A short story by The Lounge

I have no idea if this will fly, but it could be humorous, so let's try it. Let's write a one page short story, line by line. There are no rules, just grab the current story and throw on your new sentence.

I'll start with:

The meter reader heard the radio report mention that it was ninety-four degrees as he opened the door to the dank old rowhouse.

He realized that he was dreaming because opening a door from a car and listening to a radio outside of one are both absurd.

Problem solving in another thread please.

Luckily for our meter reader, soundwaves travel through the air, and can originate from INSIDE the house! Wait, wait, I've also just heard that they can also originate from ear buds! Well, I never! The things that a guy can learn on a daily basis are amazing.

It was right then that he regretted eating Taco Bell for his last six meals as he was overcome with the runs and the rowhouse didn't have any plumbing, so he crapped his pants something fierce.

I was adding a line to the story. I'm sorry that you didn't like it.

Oh, and if you're sensitive about what you think a story should be, it'll never work in this sort of environment.

He slowly walked back to his car, bow-legged and face clenched like a stepfather's fist, looking like John Wayne with nappy rash, hoping no one was watching him, but too shamed to actually life his eyes up to check.

It was just then that a chick that he had a massive crush on came walking down the street, saw him in his poopy-pant predicament, and decided right then that she would never give him the sexytime.

This left our friend with 3 realistic options: 1)forget the incident ever occurred and try to walk away with some dignity...2)kill himself...or 3)give homosexuality a try.

As the initial panic subsided he began reassuring himself... "I'm a meter reader goddammit"...and noticed the open window on the rowhouse.
