Okay, the object of this is to create a story.  I start the string, each of you add a line.  When it's all done, I'll "publish" the story.   Got it?  Be creative, funny, sad, anything you want . . . but have fun!  It's a great game.

All right, here it is:

"Once upon a time -- present day, that is -- in a crowed park, a fair-haired girl locked eyes with someone whom she believed to be her soulmate."

 Also, if you feel the need to post a picture to make a point, do so!  Let's have fun.

And away we gooooooooooooooooooooooo . . . .

She felt her heart leap in her chest and never felt so drawn to anyone in her life.
Melinda ~choosing happiness~ S. Sep 28, 2007, 10:41am EDT
The only problem she could see now was how to go about getting his attention.
Vivian P. Sep 28, 2007, 11:26am EDT
just then her heel broke and down she went
Pam L. Sep 28, 2007, 12:12pm EDT
Sprawling across the floor, dropping her things, and causing a ruckus, and then . . .
Kelly M. Sep 29, 2007, 11:10am EDT
"Don't I know you?" He asked.
Synchronicity W. Sep 29, 2007, 4:25pm EDT
He looked so familiar but she couldn't immediately remember from where. She searched his face earnestly when she suddenly recalled where she had seen him before.
Pam L. Sep 30, 2007, 6:52am EDT
At the same time, he made eye contact with her and there seemed to be some indication he might have known her from somewhere, as well.
Danielle P. Sep 30, 2007, 8:24am EDT
Now if he could only remember.
Karoline L. Sep 30, 2007, 9:41am EDT
He proceeded to help her to her feet as they maintained eye contact, oblivious to the chaos around them.
Pam L. Sep 30, 2007, 9:44am EDT
She, reluctantly, took his hand, and trying to avoid appearing helpless, gave herself a push with her other hand, which with great momentum, she plowed into him upon standing, coming face to face, eye to eye, and chest to chest.
Barbara L. Sep 30, 2007, 11:04am EDT
"Wait, I desperately need a latte!!!", she said, "can we go get some coffee?"
Pam L. Sep 30, 2007, 11:06am EDT
With a tilted smile, he responds, "Yeah, um, I guess, but what's your name?"
Barbara L. Sep 30, 2007, 12:44pm EDT
"Sabrina, my mom watched a lot of Bewitched reruns when she was pregnant... and you?" she replied with a wry smile.
Pam L. Sep 30, 2007, 12:58pm EDT
"Wagner," he replies, "my parents were somewhat of western-type folks.
Vivian P. Sep 30, 2007, 1:10pm EDT
My grandmother still ride the rodeo bulls
Pam L. Sep 30, 2007, 1:13pm EDT
And my grandfather ropes and drives cattle two months of the year.
Sue D. Sep 30, 2007, 2:05pm EDT
He can't help feeling that he has met her before as he looks in her eyes, and says, "Why don't we go get that latte?"
Kelly Persinger Sep 30, 2007, 2:09pm EDT
But I am a bit different , an arsty type, holding an appreciate for the more refined aspects of culture....I'd love a latte!
Linda R. Sep 30, 2007, 2:16pm EDT
He gently took hold of her arm and guided her toward the corner
Barbara L. Sep 30, 2007, 3:17pm EDT
They noticed a big commotion on the patio!!!
Dave J. Sep 30, 2007, 5:25pm EDT
A man and woman, dressed to the nines were ready to exchange blows over the attrbutes of latte.
Lisa (I love loons) C. Sep 30, 2007, 6:10pm EDT
They heard the roar of the police car's siren approaching.
Bethany C. Sep 30, 2007, 6:33pm EDT
"Um," Wagner cleared his throat nervously, "Maybe we should go somewhere else."
Barbara L. Sep 30, 2007, 6:50pm EDT
"There is a Caribou down the street, you could lasso us a couple of frappacinos and we could talk!", Sabrina offered, glancing nervously at the melee going on at the Starbucks.
Pam L. Sep 30, 2007, 7:38pm EDT
"Grab them, let's go, let's get out of here," Sabrina said, with Wagner grabbing her hand and heading towards the counter.
Dave J. Sep 30, 2007, 9:19pm EDT
Suddenly, the police car raced down the street straight toward them. The policeman driving didnt see them until almost the last instant. He slammed on the brakes....
Pam L. Sep 30, 2007, 9:37pm EDT
. . . and with all four tires locking down on the pavement, he barely missed hitting Wagner and Sabrina.
Bethany C. Sep 30, 2007, 10:35pm EDT
"That's where I remember you from!" Wagner grumbled angrily to the woman who had knocked him down and fallen on him, in their jump from harm's way.
Pam L. Sep 30, 2007, 11:07pm EDT
"Where, where?" she exclaimed, "where could you possibly think you know me from?"

"You were the kind nurse who helped me two years ago when I went to the hospital after I was in a bad wreck." he said in amazement.
Linda K. Oct 1, 2007, 12:55pm EDT
Omigosh, it's YOU! It's YOU! Your face has completely healed! I am so glad! I thought I would never find you again.
Barbara L. Oct 1, 2007, 1:39pm EDT
"I had amnesia, and they put me in a mental hospital, it took me months to get out", Wagner said, "and with the plastic surgery I couldn't talk for a long time."
Linda K. Oct 1, 2007, 6:37pm EDT
"Oh my gosh, Wagner, it's been complete hell for you, hasn't it?!" Sabrina exclaimed.

"It's been tough, but the thought of finding you has given me the strength and the will to live", confessed Wagner.
Pam L. Oct 1, 2007, 8:49pm EDT
Sabrina didn't know what to say to all of this. She looked at him in amazement, took his hand, and they walked side by side.
Pam L. Oct 7, 2007, 9:38am EDT
Wagner walked with her, not knowing what exactly to say, and waited for Sabrina to break the silence.
Taylor ~hopes no one forgets her!~ Blue Oct 7, 2007, 10:09am EDT
As Wagner turned around he saw something ... but he wasn't quite sure...he squinted to try and see it clearer...
Barbara L. Oct 7, 2007, 10:55am EDT
The irate man from the Starbucks was running from the police!!! Walker made a quick move, and the man fell, tripping over Walker, "Texas Ranger"'s foot!!!!
Christy J. Oct 7, 2007, 7:21pm EDT
She opened her mouth, but suddenly the ground started shaking. She looked around in confusion. Everything else seemed to be normal. What the heck?

"Sabrina, Sabrina? Wake up!"
Member Photog Oct 7, 2007, 9:25pm EDT
"ah Sabrina,Sabrina...You're a small-timer, a roof-crawler, a poke pincher, a nickel-and-dime grifter with salt in your dreams and ashes in your pockets."....why did this sentence suddenly play over and over in her mind?......Sabrina could only
Dave J. Oct 7, 2007, 9:28pm EDT
shake her head with wonderment, thinking about her drinking days back at the womens college. There she often did....
Pam L. Oct 7, 2007, 10:24pm EDT
...what most college women did, party....
James T. Oct 8, 2007, 12:38am EDT
She had had another all nighter and who was this man in bed with her? He looks kind of familiar but who could he be?
Danielle P. Oct 8, 2007, 6:54am EDT
Was he a younger version of Wagner? Could it really be?
Pam L. Oct 8, 2007, 7:00am EDT
No, it couldn't be possible. Was it his brother? She somewhat remembered meeting his brother on an occasion or two, but he was much younger then.
