Blog Posting!

The CONTINUOUS STORY is about to begin!  Here's the optional blog assignment for this week:

I will begin a story with a couple of sentences; your job is to continue it with two postings of your own, apart from each other.  Each posting needs to be at least 2 sentences, but you can write as much as you want.  Here's how we'll start it:

Take it from there, folks!
