Line By Line

In this Month's Eden Lit Club meeting we learned about First Person Narrative.

First person storytelling- In a first person narrative the narrator is telling the story from their personal perspective. Usually they are recounting a memory or account of a previous happening, though they could also be telling the story in real time. The trick for the author is to remember to use the proper tense and to describe the events as they unfold rather than glossing over important details.
Remember that your audience cannot see, smell, hear or taste what your character is seeing, smelling, hearing or tasting. To be really effective the author must remember that actions should be described in a logical fashion.

We thought it might be fun to have a Month long game of write the next line but stay in first person perspective.
I'll get the show started:

OK I am going to call a foul here...this is a first person story but it isn't just a finish the last line! You can't end up with a vibrator that needs electricity while walking over a bridge in a sylvan wood setting! Where did the stairs come from? Where did the room come from? LOL This is a great little flight of fantasy but let's get back to the lesson. Change the story if you want but make sure it makes sense and follows the established story line!

In this incarnation you can write more than one single line but if anyone judges the story to be losing it's cohesion or leaving the first person perspective he/she can cry fould and write a synopsis of the story thus far restarting the process!

Aaaaaaand begin!

Let's start again!

On the day I died, I was in a beautiful wooded area enjoying the sunny day when a bird crapped on my head and I stumbled. I landed on a vibrator and I remember screaming and clutching at my chest. I stumbled to the water's edge to wash the bird poo off my face and clean up the dirty vibrator when I saw...
