A Pox on the lounge.. No one wanted to write a communal story
Edited on Sat Nov-10-07 03:59 AM by SoCalDem
We used to do that all the time.. Wanna play?

Here's what we got so far..




The old man and his wife built this place themselves..

Let's call them Ed and Johanna Grayson.

Ed planted that tree on the afternoon of little Janette's funeral..
...............................

1. Ah, yes, Old Man Grayson's place ...

I remember walking past it on dark autumn evenings. Sometimes, I thought I could see the shadow of a very old person flickering in the candlelight of the attic ...

...............................................

That was when the road was on the WEST side of the property

That road goes nowhere now, and dead-ends at the broken fence by the garden around back.

The new road is paved almost all the way to the property, and the well-worn grooves that led the rest of the way to the house are all grown over now.

The last car that graced the driveway at the Grayson place was a 1966 Camaro, driven there by some drunken teenagers, on a very dark night in January 1970.

Even though you may be violating DU's terms-of-service by "rallying the troops" to your thread!

3. These are the days of short attention spans.
The "add three words" threads seem to have a life of their own.
