| B-Random: Where I write about whatever I feel like! |
Feel like working out your brain and having fun at the same time? Read on and get ready to hash out a story that unravels as read along with the instructions! Simply read the directions for step-by-step instructions. Pencils/fingers ready!
You'll need:
This page open along with a writing program on your computer (Notepad, Word, etc.)
*Note: this game may only be playable from your desktop
Instructions:
Step 1: Create the main character
Go ahead and highlight one of the grayed-out areas (one only--no cheating!). Next, either memorize the revealed character or copy and paste it into your own document.
1. Peter Kipper - doctor, divorced from his wife who is in prison for murder
2. Andrea McCauffer - a ballerina with a broken foot
3. Max - a green alien who is stranded on Earth after a bad landing
4. Henry O' Connor - a rich millionaire with a gambling problem
5. Lisa Lowry - a slightly overweight woman with a foot fetish
6. Rowan Jars- a monkey who is soon to be sent into space
7. Lucky Harris - a girl with the worst luck in the world
8. Ernie-O - a rapper with a speech impediment
9. AJ-1234 - a robot who wants to be a human
10. . Melissa G. Hawthorne - an aging model
Step 2: Choose your setting
Do the same as you did before in Step 2!
1. A tropical island
2. A crowded subway
3. A shopping mall
4. A space shuttle
5. A noisy school bus
6. A haunted building
7. A zombie-filled city
8. A popular nightclub
9. A plane without parachutes, ready to crash
10. A hospital room
Step 3: What's going down?
You know the drill, people!
1. Someone's been murdered!
2. A dance-fight has been initiated!
3. Our protagonist is in love!
4. They have discovered they have secret children!
5. The world needs saving!
6. They run into a handsome man! (or a pretty woman!)
7. Their cell phone just died!
8. A zombie-apocalypse has occurred!
9. Life has lost all meaning...
10. They are giving birth!
Step 4: And who's there to help our protagonist?
1. A cop with no gun (and no badge)
2. An angry dog
3. A chatty best friend
4. A wealthy genius with money to waste
5. A spoiled pop star
6. A group of school children
7. A nurse
8. A blind prophet
9. A rude waitress
10. A mopey cat
Step 5: Now, put it all together!
This is the challenge step! Try to put all four of these steps into a short story. It will most likely be hard (for example, I got an alien on a crashing plane with a dead cell phone and the only people to help him are a group of school kids), but I bet you can do it! Give it a go and have fun with it. :)
If you're interested, here's a bit of what I came up with on mine:
Max squeezed his eyes, all three of them, shut and then opened them again. He did this once more before covering his mouth with one of his slimy, green tentacles and drawing in a deep, ragged breath.
This can't be possible, he thought as terror began to override his mind. I just got out of one crashing object and now I'm on another one! The humans were in a panic, running along the aisle and shouting words like "Parachute!" and "There are none!"
A small, fleshy hand tapped Max on his shoulder. He turned around in his plane seat and came face to face with a small version of a human being. This one had a brown, sweet-smelling substance smeared around it's tiny mouth and something peculiar and quite icky dripping from it's nose.
"You look kind of sick, dude. You're all green," the small human said as it swiped at it's running nose.
