NEW Forum Story!! -- spider, 03:55:08 02/06/03 Thu

heeheehee..... the first forum-chain-story seemed to simmer down to just two remaining writers. Are all the others dust??

although...it did turn in to a rather violent one......

so for all the less-violent writers out there....who wants to take part in a new forum-story?
This time, we have some rules : each new author/post will be using the 3 words or phrases instructed by the previous postee. So say I post a chapter now, at the end I'll include 3 words or phrases in brackets :
[corridors, dogs, the room seemed unchanged....]

there you go , next author would then have to include those 3 in their chapter (not necessarily in the same order though). They would then leave 3 new words/phrases in brackets at the end of their chapter, and the next author uses them in his/her chapter.

did any of that make sense? No? excellent, then we shall begin!!


******************FORUM STORY No.2*******************


The doors of a pub swung open temperarily, emitting a blast of noise and booze tainted smoke. Clattering glasses echoed between raised voices, and booming laughter interweaved with the thump and bawl of a jukebox. The street outside was damp and unwelcoming, a chilling wind struck though the narrow corridors of bricks and windows, the odd person hurried in and out of shadows, and dogs barked back and forth.
Hesitating, I drew my coat around me and stepped towards the doors. The warm air blasted across my face as the door swung open - I half expected the noise to subside as I entered, expected a sea of turned faces and drawn lips, but the room seemed unchanged, welcoming me with roars of laughter and chatter.
An empty stool beckoned at the bar, and as I approached, the barman nodded. "what'll it be?"

“Well, I expect I’ll have the normal luke warm beer I always have from pubs like this one.” I thought to myself. “A pint of Hurricane please.” The barman slowly pulled the pump as I titivated with my hair, glancing in the mirror behind the bar to make sure I hadn’t destroyed my new style.
“ Cooper! Hey Cooper is that you”
I turned my head towards the pool table to see who was calling my name, assuming there was another guy in the pub with the name Cooper. However the shout was intended for me. A tall woman of about 26 stood away from the table and looked right at me. She slowly walked over to me and smiled. “ I thought it was you, didn’t recognise you with your new hair cut.
She looked deep into my eyes and somewhere in my head I heard a distant crying. Then a red bottle of some awful Alco-pop was slammed down on the bar next to me. A young lad slurred the words “another one of them please mate.” Snapping me out of my daze, the woman had disappeared but the chat and laughter continued as before.



[power cut, joker, gravel]

[> [> Re: NEW Forum Story!! -- fwl, 11:33:52 02/20/03 Thu

i didn't even know why i was here. since i'd left the institution earlier that morning all i could think was "go to the Pig in a Joker", "go to the Pig in a Joker"....round and round my head. don't know why. i'd never been here before, thought by the shifty glances i was getting, some of the people here knew me.

i lifted up my pint of hurricane, the glass looking like it had been left out in a hurricane all night. it was greasy, and tiny pieces of gravel stuck to the base of the glass. the contents of the glass looked even less appetising. why was i here?

something came to mind...a woman, and a book......

i couldn't shake the feeling that not all of this was real. i turned to look across the crowd spread out before the bar, and my eyes caught those of the tall woman once more, before the power cut out, leaving the place in total darkness.....


[thirteen steps, dwarf, Zanzibar]

[> [> [> Re: NEW Forum Story!! -- Choo, 18:36:41 02/21/03 Fri

Danny Newboy drove his shinny new Dwarf sports car down the winding country lanes. The latest pop crap screaming out of the stereo. The sun blazed down on the yellow body as it raced in and out of corn fields. “These roads never change.” Danny thought to himself. “Since the day I learnt to drive, nothing ever changes in this part of the world.” Danny thought of his long holiday to Zanzibar, and the ever changing market town he visited every day to get the best produce.

He enjoyed the long drive home even more now he had the power of this beast under his control. Shooting down Thirteen steps hill, minuets away from the sleepy little town he grew up in. As Danny threw the car out to the far edge of the tiny lane he began to hear a subliminal scream in his head. Without any more notice than that the Dwarf and driver collided into a huge dark graffiti covered concrete wall...



[snake charmer, music box, mother]

[> [> [> [> Re: NEW Forum Story!! -- spider, 04:11:39 02/22/03 Sat

Cooper stumbled back in the darkness, knocking the barstool and sending his pint glass crashing to the floor. The vision burning in his head - Danny, the shiny new sports car....and the wall... all over in a flash.
The lights in the pub flickered on slowly,
"don't mind them, dodgy electrics" the barman interrupted, he kicked the jukebox back into action as he passed it, and broom in hand advanced towards Cooper. "you alright son?"
Cooper shook the vision from his mind, suddenly aware of the barman beside him.
"i...no...fine" he stammered, looking around in a daze.
He had to find Danny's mother, had to warn her.

Grabbing his jacket from the bar he made his way to the door. As he reached it, a hand reached out over his
"wait." There she was again "come with me" she hissed, leading him off to a side door.
"no i have to go, i've got someone to see"
"I know." the tone in her voice stopped Cooper dead in his tracks,
"how the? ...what...who are you? and what do you want?"
"The Snake Charmer sent me, said you could see the future, told me to give you this" she pushed a small parcel into his pocket "don't open it yet. wait until you're alone"
Confused, and slightly annoyed that everyone else seemed to know more than he did, he reached into his pocket. "not now" she hissed, pushing him back in to the main room, "go!"

The wind had picked up, dragging his coat around him he hurried off towards the village square. Danny's mother only lived a few streets away, he could open the parcel there.

The door opened to the smell of baking bread and a smoky fire. "Eve, how are you?"
"oh Cooper, come on in, come on in. didn't expect you so early, how are you my love?"
She hushered him in to the front room, fussing around him and taking his coat and hat, pushing a chair to the fireside, and offering him a steaming cup from the pot on the table.
"I don't know where to start Eve, I've had the strangest evening, and I have to know if Danny's left yet?"
"oh no dear, he won't be down until the weekend, something about working late friday... I could give him a call if you like"
Cooper nodded, "yes, that would be..." and she was off, out of the room. Cooper leaned forward and reached for his coat, taking the small parcel out he held it in his left hand for a second, before tearing the edge of the paper open. It looked like a small wooden box, tarnished and slightly battered, with a row of symbols running around the side.
The last of the apper was off, and he could make out a small keyhole to the side, a plain brass handle protruding slightly on the lid, which swung as he turned the box....and feeling a strange tingling run through his body he found himself turning the handle.
Nothing happened at first, and then something caught inside, a metallic ping, followed by another, and another, delicate and child like, like the music boxes his grandmother used to collect.

His mind wandered as a strange chill ran through the room....

[> [> [> [> [> Re: NEW Forum Story!! -- Choo, 18:52:17 03/11/03 Tue

“I believe that you are now aware of the messages I have been sending.” The voice that Cooper heard was small and delicate, words entering his sub conscience mind the way a mouse moves in and out of cracks in the wall.
Without knowing whom he was even talking to Cooper replied. ”Yes I got the message, Are you the snake char...” Coopers words were cut off.
“That I am.” Now things will become clear but I'm old and this is almost killing me, Coincidence is life and superstition is yet to be understood.”
Cooper awoke from his dream state and noticed he wasn’t breathing his lungs had become trapped like they were entangled in a spiders web. He struggled and fell to the floor, his face turning blue as he rolled around. Knocking the coffee table with his leg. A vase fell to the ground coving Cooper in slightly discoloured water and carnation petals. He began to breathe again and settled himself on the chair as Eve came rushing in. “What was that dear? Are you all right?”
“Sorry Eve” came the reply. “I knocked the table and the flowers fell off”
Eve bent down and began to pick the broken stems up from the floor. Looking up briefly she said. "I can’t get through to Danny he is probably in a meeting. He always gets back to me if I leave him a message. She glanced at the small wooden box cooper was still clasping. "Nice music box. Where did you get that? Looks like what they call a Bahrang. Prophets in Zanzibar use them to predict forth-coming events. Does it play a tune?”
“Oh... erm... No its not working I have to get it fixed.”
“That was quick thinking!” Cooper thought to himself, he didn't want to have to go through all that again.
Cooper sat with eve for a while longer finished his tea and then left for his home. The words prophets and Zanzibar ringing in his mind. “A clue perhaps” he thought to himself...
