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.

It was a sunny Wednesday afternoon, and Larry was perched atop a neighbor’s fence soaking in the rays when he decided to find himself something to do.

Larry looked to either side of the fence and contemplated whether to suffer through the child's birthday party making a mess of his home yard, or to sneak past the neighbor's dog in the hopes that he could find something new and exciting down by the river.

That's when his eyes fell upon a little small mouse.

I realize what you are pondering dear reader, the physics of a cat most obviously missing one of the essential limbs one would need to scale such a measurably tall fence is mind boggling..

He looked, eager, past the withering brush only to find no sign of movement--not even another cat.

The street was bare and so he started meowing in the hopes to find something, anyone to give him some love.

Larry's ear twitched at an indistinct high-pitched sound echoing back to him from somewhere far out of view, down the street.

Larry's curiosity raised as he repositioned himself to better hone his earing ability and peered down the street.

He heard something, and caught a glimpse of another cat with an odd collar on!
