I fun activity that I've done in school, and many of you have probably done, is something I call teamwork writing. It's when one person starts a story and they pass the story around and have other people in the group or class add to the story (atleast a paragraph)

Since we can't technically pass a paper around, I think it might be fun to do it here in the forum. (But dont worry, you dont NEED to write a paragraph, maybe 3 to 5 sentences, but it can be a paragraph if you want)

I'm going to start the story, but I ask that you please read the entire story before putting in your two cents, so the story actually sounds like a story in the end.

Here we go:

Once upon a time, there was a young boy who lived by the lake with his grandfather. The two would go fishing every once in a while, talk about the meaning of life, and gaze at the stars. The boy loved this life, but he felt like he could have more....

Your turn!

The beast swallowed the grandfather and decided to attack the boy. The boy suddenly found that he had superpowers. he attack the vicious brute and drove him back under the water. But while getting revenge on the monster, he was turned evil by his own anger. The boy was no superhero, he was a supervillian.

All the energy drained out of the boy. He limped back to the cottage, sweat falling over his brow. He felt extreme pain in his left arm, where the monster touched him.
"I should have let that old man die a long time ago. His life isn't worth my time."
He fell over on the soggy grass, a creature having landed on his bruise.
"Son, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
"A felon!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yah! This kid at school says they get all the girls!"
"I should try that..."
