    2. The second person continues from where the last person left off, again leaving the sentence unfinished.
    3. The story doesn't have to make sense - in fact, it probably shouldn't. Very Happy
    4. Once the story has run it's course or everybody gets bored, somebody begins a new story.

    P1: Once upon a time...
    P2: There was a mouse. And the mouse's name was...
    P3: Roderick. He liked cheese, but one day...
    P4: He ate a piece of celery.

    Etc., etc., etc.

    I'll begin. Smile

    Once upon a time, there was a platypus. The platypus....
