Serve your sentence - a story of community

A simple premise - add one and only one sentence to further the story. Let's see where this goes!

As the ruckus from a nearby saloon spills out into the street our hooded quarry lurches from sight into an alley.

They curse heatedly when they realize they left their phone on the bar.

"You've been made, return to the safe house, we have his mobile device" I hear over my earpiece.

The ground begins to shake and they fall to their knees.

neil_swann80 · 04-16-2023, 02:20 PM

A cacophony of car alarms, confused shouts and distant screams fill the air.

They looked up as a herd of Triceratops thundered by in a huge cloud of dust and debris.

But, that was not all.

Harsh light suddenly illuminated the alley, as a low flying helicopter attempted to herd the unruly reptiles away from the town.

A rogue reptile thunders into the alley, the angry 8 tonne beast launches crates and garbage cans from its path during its panicked charge.

Our hooded quarry is seen running down the alley just ahead of the dinosaur when a manhole cover flies open and a voice is heard shouting "Jump!".

neil_swann80 · 04-17-2023, 12:16 AM

As the target drops from sight I dive into a doorway landing hard, my head hitting brickwork and my vision darkens as I watch the colossus crashing by.

DNSB · 04-17-2023, 12:26 AM

As I leant against the door trying to maintain consciousness, the door opened, an arm reached out and snatched me inside.

neil_swann80 · 04-17-2023, 12:31 AM

As we fall into the bright safety of a noisy kitchen my vision fades into oily blackness.

DNSB · 04-17-2023, 12:49 AM

As my mind slipped from consciousness, that last thing I remembered was a strange musty scent.

neil_swann80 · 04-17-2023, 01:46 AM

Maybe a few minutes passed, or perhaps hours, as my mind slowly crawls back into consciousness, with a splitting headache I attempt to open my eyes.
