Group Sex...

by Madelynne Ellis


You may remember Round Robin. No, not the chubby kid at the back of the class, but the storytelling game. You sat in a circle, maybe round a campfire if you were lucky, and took it in turns to pick up the thread of a tale. You hoped that the person to your left wouldn’t kill off too many characters or banjax the plot before it got to your turn, and then it was over, your clever twist racing off into another nine-year old’s febrile imagination.

Time to relive the excitement! Although with a more erotic slant, and lucky me, I get to kick it all off. Cue inspirational image and the opening paragraph...


‘You want me to do what!’

Ray blinks at me over the rim of his sunglasses, as if it’s my reaction that warrants surprise and not his request. ‘It was just an idea, but if you don’t want to.’

‘I never said that. I’m just a little bit shocked, that’s all.’


Now it’s your turn. To play simply write the next paragraph and post it in the comments, leaving things open for the next contributor to add to the story. You can play as many times as you like, but no writing the follow-up to your own post.

Do you think we'll have something saleable by the end of the day?
