writing meme

[sophinisba]

And now, a writing meme, gacked from hyel:

Post the first line of a story here, and I'll write the next five. No context or prompts, just a line, and if I don't twig who it is then you'll get something slightly surreal back!

If you post the next up-to-five lines, I will try to keep it going.

An exception to the no-context rule is that I'd like warnings in the subject line for spoilers or consent issues. Let's do this, I think it'll be fun.

ETA: Feel free to jump in and write more on a thread started by someone else too. Stories can branch off in different directions. I'm just in the mood for playing around and writing collaboratively.

The date of the execution drew near.

100 words omg! Spoilers for Merlin 1x12

The date of the execution drew near. Forbidden from visiting the dungeons, she took to spending time in Gaius' workshop, hoping he would help her understand and at the same time wondering, had he known all along? Had everyone known but her?

She remembered manacles on her own wrists, remembered the wounds on her father's body, how she'd wept at the injustice of it then. This time she knew the charge of sorcery was justified, and still her heart wanted to break.

"Don't worry," Merlin whispered in Gwen's ear as he held her close, "don't worry, we'll get her out."

Sam was startled to hear a hollow 'thud' when he pushed his spade into the patch of untilled earth.

I KNEW you were obsessed with serial killers :D :D :D

[shirebound]

LOL!! You ruffian.

Sam was startled to hear a hollow 'thud' when he pushed his spade into the patch of untilled earth. Goodness knows he'd heard enough tales of buried Baggins treasure to fill up his dreams when he was a boy, but he hadn't given it a thought in years. Yes, Bilbo had been close with his secrets in the old days, but he'd trusted Frodo with everything, and in the end Frodo trusted Sam with all that he had. If there was gold in this garden he ought to know about it by now.

He dug carefully with the spade and then cleared the loose dirt away with his hands, not wanting to damage whatever he'd found. The box he pulled out of the ground was light, made of plain unpolished cherry wood, and had carved on the lid, Property of Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.

Oh, how intriguing! You did great with this line.

*ponders the contents of the box*

[sophinisba]

I'm curious as to what's in the box too! I hope someone will write the next part.

"This is not what it looks like," Merlin said.
