Write a story with Lemmy

Have a story idea or a random idea that you think others would want to build on, post it here in one sentence. The first comment continues the post and subsequent replies follow a top-level comment, creating a collaborative story, one sentence at a time. There can be multiple top-level comments, but each top-level comment continues the story in a different way, reply to keep it going. The OP decides and declares a winner.

Any non-story posts such as discussion or questions start with [meta].

You may continue your own post by replying to another's comment. If you are the OP, you may not leave top-level comments unless you are declaring a winner. This is like Asklemmy Ouija Style but instead of letters it is sentences. Posts may start a sentence. In that case a only a top-level comment finishes the sentence with another full sentence after.Posts can ask a question as a one sentence prompt. The game continues as a normal post would.

She'd spent 22 months fine tuning this thing, and then 26 attempts to engage the device always giving the same "null result".

It didn't look like much really, the contraption that is, but the data that it provided was indisputable and overwhelmingly complete.

She was about to really make her breakthrough but, in a heartbeat, flashes of scarlet consumed the capsule shaped room.

She felt a slight zap, and went cold, "Static? Now?!"

"I'm gonna be here all night," she yammered as her metal trinkets pattered on.
