The Rules
- Exactly five words in each post (after this one).
- Somebody else must post before you do so again.
- The object is to produce a (semi-)coherent story.
- Long rambling sentences are acceptable.
- Don’t forget to punctuate.
- Write good English, grammatical, correctly spelt.
- Keep it clean.
- Before posting, do check that you have read to the end that you aren’t looking at a non-terminal page.
- Very rarely, somebody may post a ‘Story so far’, inside quote tags (as well as a five-word continuation). Please, never more than once per page.
- If you must make an administrative comment, do so in [square brackets] underneath your five-word story extension.
- Idea taken from this password-protected thread, totalling about 3½k posts since Wed 01 May 2002.
I’ll start:
Having decanted the older port,
