After seeing the three-word story, it inspired me to start this one. Let's all write a

story where the characters use pheromones from this site, and different events unfold as a result. Here are the

guidelines, similar to the three-word thread.

1. Anyone can contribute.
2. There is a limit of five (5)

sentences per post, with the exception of the first one, where ground rules and the story is laid out.
3. Posts

need to have good grammar, spelling, and punctuation (doesn't have to read like a college paper, but can't be like

MySpace either), and sentences must be a reasonable length.
4. The same person is NOT allowed to make two

consecutive posts in a row.
5. The post being added must have some semblance of a coherent flow with the story in

the most recent post.
6. Keep it up for as long as your creativity allows.

And, without further ado, on with the

story.



It was a dark and hectic night. Four men were sitting around a house, playing cards. Suddenly,

lights went out, and there was a loud scream outside. When the lights came back on, one man ran to the front door

to check things out. He saw a woman lying on the front step and fearfully touching her neck with her fingers. There

was a long trail of footprints on the snow, extending from the front step to the forest past the yard. It appeared

to go farther into the forest, but actually ended at the property line.
