Tag Team Tuesday

Welcome to Tag Team Tuesday

I thought I would give you something to do just in case we are home recovering from Hurricane Sandy.  I sure hope we have electric or at least cell phone access.  Here are the directions.  I will start a story and it will be your job to continue it.  Don't finish it.  Just move it forward and tag the next person to continue.  This should be fun and really challenge your imagination. Enjoy, and now let's get started.  I will  start with a picture for character and setting.

The streets of New York...


...and the story begins here.

Bobby Torino paced the streets of New York, lost amongst his own thoughts. He did not know where he was walking; he just needed to get out and let his mind and legs wander. He peered through the sun glare, which was so common in New York City at this time of year. He noticed the sounds of a thousand cars and the colours of hundreds of neon shop signs, bright, in his face.  The sounds and the images shimmered and warped in in his head. It was the city that helped him in times like this. He had been having soom trouble lately.  The sights and sounds of the city always  helped him look at his life in a new way. As he began to think back, Bobby remembered the day all his problems started. 

TAG.....Please continue the story here.  Remember to write TAG after your section to someone else can continue the story from your dropped spot.  Have fun.

Tag Team Tuesday

The idea for Tag Team Tuesday came from Andrew B.  Here's how it works.  I will start a story by writing a few lines and giving you a picture or two.  You will then write a few more lines to continue the story.  Look at the pictures and gather some ideas for a story line and then check how I start the story.    Once someone posts about the story, it will be your job to continue with what they have written.  DO NOT change their ideas. Continue from where they leave off.

Here we go.  Look at the pictures first.





     Cool Breeze is my friend. He is the kid sitting next to me on the metal floor of the open back part of a pickup truck.  We are dipping and rising and rolling on these rotten springs. I feel like I'm in a boat.  From the back of the truck, the city of San Francisco was bobbing up and down and all the endless bay windows of the row houses were quickly passing us. Last week back in Chicago, my dad drove by a hitchhiker and my little brother Bo asked, "Why is that guy giving us a thumbs up?"
