Coolest guy ever competition entry in OD

norahrose She rocks. She keeps telling me that I rock. And she runs a ‘coolest guy ever’ competition.

So this is my entry for aforementioned competition. I have to do something creative. I have an idea for that.

It’s based on an urban legend about two people in a creative writing course who have to write a story together. They end up fighting about it.

So here’s the deal. I am going to write a paragraph. If you feel so inclined, copy it, paste into your own diary and add another paragraph. Ask people to do the same with the two paragraphs. Let’s see where this takes us. Don’t give the story a title. Let it grow organically. And leave me a note if you are going to take part.

Here’s the paragraph:
It was a cold, rainy night as per usual. Rich was walking, not going anywhere in particular. He needed to get out of the house. He needed time to think. As always when he was in a pensive mood, he was listening to The Beatles. Suddenly, the battery on his personal stereo died. Shit. Why did everything have to go so wrong at the same time?
