I'm gonna try something new. I'm going to start a fictional story, and then leave it open ended for someone else to continue. The idea is to have a bunch of people add on to the story and create something unique. Don't use ALL CAPS because that makes stuff hard to read. Only write for about 5 minutes and dont' think too much on what you're writing. Its good to have something spontaneous written down. Use your imagination and don't be afraid to make the story as serious or funny as you want. With that, the story begins...
--------
Gizmo was hanging out in his cage one day. He's just a regular Gizmo, nothing too awfully special about him. Anyways, he was in pouch, and he heard something. It sounded kinda like a cricket. He held his breath for a second so he could better hear the sound. It was a cricket!
Gizmo stuck his head out of the pouch and started the hunt for the cricket. "Where was it?" he thought. It sounded like it was coming from the bottom of the cage.
He climbed out of his pouch, and glided 20 feet to the bottom of his cage. Gizmo had a really big cage. He had invested in Microsoft stocks 10 years earlier and it made him a millionare. His cage was really something to marvel at.
As soon as he landed on the bottom, he started sniffing around for the cricket. He heard it in the far corner of the cage. Gizmo darted over as fast as he could, but what he found was no cricket at all.

Instead....what he found was a curious looking little creature. It had 17 legs....very strange he thought to have an odd number of legs...but it had 6 on each side and 3 straight down the middle. It had one large eye where it's mouth should be and tuba shaped ears.
Gizmo stood staring in disbelief for several minutes....then it made a sound....just like a cricket. Gizmo rared back on his hind legs and gave a might crab....hmmmm....nothing...the thing just stood there on his 17 legs and looked at him.
Gizmo slowly approaced this creature...slowly...one tiny foot at a time, just when he had gotten about an inch from the thing, the craziest thing happened....

Oh yes... the craziest thing happened. The Creature crabbed back at him. It had imitated Gismo. Gizmo was confused. He chirped.... then he waited. The 17 legged creature took one of his many legs and scratched his head, Then he chirped back. Gizmo was amazed, he liked it!! Gizmo sang a hard note and waited for the creature to sing back. On and on they sang and chirped and barked and even sneezed all night.
Then gizmo stopped, and thought of a plan. Since he was wanted to play with his human, Eric, Gizmo nearly screamed his head off. As usual the creature screamed back and woke Eric up. While eric was coming to the cage the creature went and hid in the nest box. When eric looked up at the big cageto tell gizmo to be quiet and to play with him, gizmo.......

Started crabbing as loud as he could. He wanted Eric to know there was something very strange going on in his cage. He hopped to the pouch and back to the floor still crabbing hoping Eric would get the picture. The pouch moved and since Eric knew no other animals were in the cage he became curious, so he reached in to take the pouch out....

.....and picked up the pouch to have a look inside, but when he opened the pouch the only thing there was a tiny acorn type of nut looking thing.By this time Gizmo was comfortably sitting on Erics shoulder watching the developements and was astounded to say the least, so he crabbed... and no response...then he barked...and no response, He ran down Erics shoulder to where the acorn type of nut looking thing was and picked it up.......

....to his amazement, his new "friend" said in the quietest voice Gizmo had ever heard ... "shhh, we don't want Eric to spoil our fun". Gizmo chuckled to himself thinking what fun they were going to have with Eric during the night.
Eric reached down to pick up the small nut-like object knowing full well that Gizmo was not allowed to have nuts since they are high in fat.
Gizmo snatched his new friend and run away from Eric ....

The acorn had a horrible smell! It smelt like a dirty kitty litter box and a backed up toilet. Yuck! Instantly Gizmo dropped the nut. Since Eric knew somthing was up, he decided to watch a little t.v. with Gizzy. Since it was very late the only thing on was stuff about the Election. Eric was sick on all the "recounts" and was about to change the channel when george w. bush was talking, and Gizmo started going ballistic! He jumped on Eric's hand and started attacking it. As soon as Eric took his hand away from the remote gizmo stopped biting. It so happens that Gizmo was a strong republican and was very interested in the election. He sat on the remote, guarding it from any hands that would come near it, eyes glued to the set. Then a loud creeky sound came from the door, some one was trying to push it open but seemed to not have the strength to. It was....

Eric now was yawning and wanted to return to bed as the outcome of the election was being delayed by Florida having to do recount the ballots. So back to bed went Eric. He left the door open to Gizmo's cage.
Now Gizmo and his friend had the living room to themselves. The T.V. was left on as it shed some light in the dark room but the volume was turned down. Potato chips and sour cream along with a soda with a straw inside the container were left on the end table. Gizmo and his seventeen legged friend were quite content as they began to dine.
They were crunchin on chips and lickin the dip and sippin the the soda when all of a sudden the seventeen legged creater slid off the straw and landed in the dip. Gizmo was horrified as he watched his friend begin to sink in the white pasty glue. He threw his friend a chip but when the creature tried to crawl out the chip crumbled into many small pieces. In Gizmo's panic to save his friend he grabbed the remote and threw it to his ill fated friend.......

His 17 legged friend got out of the dip safely, Wheew was gizmo relived. He began to think how tasty that 17 legged friend might taste all covered in that yummy dip. And wow does that 17 legged friend look like a meal worm dipped in that wonderful dip. So what does Gizmo do, Well first he licked his chops, Then he Grabbed his friend and ripped his head off as he would a meal worm and began to eat.....

Thats right he ripped of its head. He was starting at the guts when another head grew in its place. Gizmo ripped the head off again and another one grew back. Gizmo was Furious! There was no more dip and chips to eat and all he wanted was a nice meal of a meal worm. Then Gizmo found a solution to this problem. He would never go hungry again! He would rip a head off, eat it, and wait for another one to grow again for him to eat! He loved it! He ripped off an arm and waited. Then ate some more and some more and some more. Since meal worms are very high in fat gizmo felt a little sick. He was sooo big, he couldnt climb upstairs to Erics room. Gizmo started to worry but then the dumb cat, fluffy, came. Since Gizmo is not just some dumb glider, he took a grip on fluffy's fur and hitch hiked up stairs, where he climbed up on erics bed but what he saw on erics bed amazed him. it was.....

...Eric, or was it? It looked like Eric, but it didnt smell like Eric, and he had never seen those funny antenna type things sticking out of Erics head before! Gizmo was starting to feel really sic now, he had eaten way too much and he needed Eric to comfort him and maybe rock him to sleep, but he was so confused! As he slowly started to go towards Eric...

Gizmo thought if he hadnt filled up on the Meal worm, he would be in heaven. But he was too sick to care about the giagantic cricket laying in the bed. Next gizmo tryed to figure out why Eric was gone, and in his place a man sized cricket ! So slowly he walked up closer to the giant cricket, slowly....

He ran away from the room were the thing that seemed to be eric. First he looked in the living room. As he turned the corner leading to the living room he saw it the worst thing possibl it was.......

the ghost of the seventeen legged creature that he had eaten. And the Ghost of his friend was slowly etching his way, closer and closer.....He had a fork in one hand and a knife in the other...and he could hear his friend saying, "Why did you eat me? I was your friend. Not only did you eat me but now I have no legs....as you pulled them off one by one. Come here little Gizmo. Gizzzmooooo, I'mmmmm hooooomeeeeeee! About this time who should appear in the nick of time was...

It was a huge toilet! Gizmo was horrified! he has always wanted to learn how to swim(he thinks about jumping in)....just then he remembers what Eric always tells him(Gliders can't swim!)
and because Gizmo is a good little glider he makes his way around the toilet avoiding the deadly water.
Gizmo's tummy ach grows increasingly worse...He falls to the ground and calls for Eric.
Eric, Eric he cries in his little glider voice weakening in his every breath......he closes his eyes and when she opens them she realizes it was all a dream as she peeks out of her pouch (stomach hurting from a deep hunger) and wondering why she dreamed she was her boyfrind!

Well, it was about that time that little Roseanne Roseanna Danna noticed that her boyfriend Gizmo was no where to be seen. She wondered where he was, but she wondered more at the moment where the food was....she looked around and nothing was in the dishes....That **** Gizmo...hogged all the food again... Roseanne Roseanna Danna began to think about her crazy dream when all of the sudden out of the corner of her little black beady eye she say a tiny acorn in the corner. She was confused, she took her tiny hand and pinched herself and to her surprise...

...OUCH! it hurt, sooo o.k. I'm awake, her tummy was rumbling, she was scared of the acorn but wanted to investigate and just then she heard a noise at the top of the twenty foot cage...

"oh no, oh no, I can't take this again. I will totally lose my mind". She begin running frantically around and around the cage holding her little head in her hands and crabbing for all she was worth.
Eric ran into the room and grabbed Gizmo, hugging him closely and trying to comfort him.
Finally Gizmo composed himself enough to ask Eric in a very frightened voice ... "was I dreaming? Am I really Roseanna Roseanna Danna? Did I just dream that I am Gizmo? Is it really true that I am a GIRL(yuck) and NOT a boy?"
Of course not, replied Eric.
Gizmo looked up at Eric with those big glider eyes.
Oh ... Well ... Never Mind
