OK, Moderator interjection: the moderators in other forums would have closed threads like this early on, because they’re really just post-padding. We’ve allowed this one because Cafe Society should encourage creative writing (such as it is.) However, nine pages and 245 posts later, we’ve really got the same four or five posters coming back over and over, so it really is post-padding.

I’m therefore closing this thread. Future such attempts should be (a) restricted to Cafe Society and (b) let’s ask for a one-sentence response rather than one word. I might be OK with “phrase” rather than sentence: one person could post a subject, another the predicate, etc. But one word is just massive post-padding.
