Backwards Story

[Tiel]

This game can get a little complicated, but it's very fun when you know how it's played. Basically, we write a story starting with the last sentence and working backwards from there.

Example:
Player A: Bob opened the chest to find treasure inside.
Player B: Bob unlocked the chest with the golden key he held.
Player A: After solving the puzzle, the golden key was revealed to Bob.
Player B: The magical owl hinted at the answer to the puzzle, then commanded Bob to go solve it.
Player A: When Bob was about to give up on the puzzle, a magical owl flew into the room.

Now, when you read the example backwards, starting with the last sentence, it makes more sense. If you have trouble coming up with something that makes sense, try reading the whole thing backwards, including your sentence, and if it makes sense like that, use it. Since this can be a hard game, feel free to write more than one sentence.

I'll go first:
Mary and her brother, Tim, woke up surrounded by rubble, dazed by the explosion.

The last thing Mary remembered before the explosion was a pair of glowing yellow eyes, and holding Tim close.

The ceiling began to cave in, separating them from the grue.

As Mary and Tim stepped away from the monster, they felt a rumbling beneath them, and Mary could tell something bad was about to happen.

A figure appeared in the doorway, looking in on the two cowering children.

They heard footsteps in the hallway approaching, and hoped it was not a monster.

Tim and Mary stepped into the hallway, eager to prove that they weren't cowards.
