• Our Story Thus Far …

  Tony awoke, only to discover that his pet rabbit Matilda had gnawed off Tony’s leg. Then Tony’s day really got bad! (SpiderDad)
  
  

  Not
  only was Matilda hungry, she was also the head of an international
  rabbit crime ring called the “Dirty Bunnies”. Her real name wasn’t
  Matilda, it was Mattie “Gnaw-Mama” Rabitto. You wouldn’t believe some
  of the peole (well, rabbits) she associated with that Tony never even
  knew about! (ChasingtheHorizon)

  
  By
  the time Tony found this all out, his leg had clotted and he decided to
  eat breakfast. Unfortunately, Mattie “Gnaw-Mama” had eaten all the
  sugar (apparently, human legs taste better with sugar — who would’ve
  known?!), so it made it quite impossible for him to have his regular
  cup of tea. He sat down and thought, and decided to just go to work.
  Unfortunately all his clothes and underwear were dirty, so he had to
  wear a sister’s dress. it was ok, though, because it made his missing
  leg less noticeable. On the way to work (he crawled), he saw Gnaw-Mama
  riding the bus. He tried to run after her, but then he realized, once
  again, that he was missing a leg. then… (Dainty_Elegance)
  
  He
  hopped down to the corner to catch the number 12 bus to 28th Street and
  Poindexter Avenue where his office at Fiendish, Fiendish & Huxley
  was located. Tony was hanging onto the strap for dear life when he
  heard a loud “SNAP!” behind him. He turned just in time to see a large,
  baldheaded man lunge toward the rear passenger door carrying a box of
  gingersnaps. (HeyJulieBaby)

  Gingersnaps,
  gingersnaps…he mulled the thought of them carefully over and over in
  his mind. Hadn’t Ginger snapped her fingers at him once when he was
  eating carrots out of her garden? Hadn’t she gone after him with a huge
  hoe? (bonzojferardi)

  
  

  The
  bus suddenly lurched to a stop, sending our hero sprawling to the
  floor. From his prostrate position, he watched in horror as his mortal
  enemy and long time nemesis Pedro the Sneezer entered the vehicle. “So,
  Tony”, Pedro sneered, “we meet again – and this time, you are wearing a
  dress!” (SpiderDad)

  It
  was a frilly little thing Matilda picked up for 50 cents at the
  Goodwill Store. It was, of course orange, with frills and a wee bit o’
  lace. But Pedro, blowing his nose, was unimpressed… (bonzojferardi)

  That’s
  when the dirty laundry that Tony left in the corner of his room chose
  to strike. It had bided its time growing in power until it had the
  perfect opportunity to avenge the events of August 13, 1901. This pile
  of seemingly ordinary yet smelly clothes had become the strongest form
  of mold on planet earth. (squarecow)
  

  
  After Pedro had blown his nose he was again able to smell the nasty mold growing in Tony’s laundry.

  “Holy Toledo!” Pedro shrieked, his smarting eyes watering from the acrid aroma. ”What the flip is that horrible smell?” (HeyJulieBaby)

  Now it’s your turn …

  Don’t forget the rules:

  1. You
     can only write up to three sentences at a time. Once someone writes
     something after you, then you can write up to three sentences more.
  2. You can write as seriously, humorously or ludicrously as you want to.
  3. The
     story doesn’t have to make any sense, so you don’t have to follow the
     plot of those that have gone before, but you can if you want to.
  4. No sex or profanity. Nothing demonic, occultic, etc.
  5. Tell your friends so they can write too. This is your chance to be a world famous published author!
