Imagination Station discussion

I saw this on another writing group, and thought it was very interesting.

The objective of the game is kinda hard to explain, so here is a example:

Poster 1: Unfortunately, the main character's dog died.

Poster 2: Fortunately, the dog was magical, and came back to life using up her extra life.

Poster 3: Unfortunately, the dog accidentally fell of the cliff while getting excited over being alive again.

Poster 4: Fortunately, at the bottom of the cliff was a small deep pond.

You go back and forth like this, trying to think up unfortunate events that happen in a story, and the next poster have to follow up with a fortunate event. When stops making sense, we can start up with a new beginning.

I'll start us off...

Unfortunately, I was picked last again for Dodgeball.
(The next person writes something fortunate, and then it goes back to unfortunate.)

Fortunatly I was on the better Team.

Unfortunately, I still got hit by a ball in the gut.

fortunatly, I didn;t have to Play the rest of the game.

Unfortunately, the game was 3 hours long and I had to sit on the bench the whole time.

Fortunately, I had my favorite book just sitting inside my backpack.

Unfortunately, a stray ball nocked the book out of my hands into the mud, just as I was pulling it out.

(Lol that was good!)

fortunatly I had another book with me

Unfortunately, it was my calculus textbook.

fortunatly I happened to like math

Unfortunately, the sound of a tsunami siren suddenly filled the air.

fortunatly, that meant the game was over

Unfortunately, we would be dead in minutes if we didn't leave.

fortunatly,the School had an excellent emergency procedure

Unfortunately, the teachers forgot it and we didn't have a piece of paper to tell us what to do.

Fortunately, the emergency procedure didn't need any teachers to enact it, and a great big raft suddenly inflated itself under the whole school.

Unfortunately, it popped.

Fortunately, we could all swim really well.

Unfortunately, our ankles were tied to rocks, thanks to a dumb science experiment everyone was doing.

Fortunately, the knots were simple and easy to untie.

Unfortunately, they were glued with gorilla glue.

Fortunately some one remembered that we could just cut the ropes with scissors.

Unfortunately, we dropped the scissors.

fortunatly we had more than one pair

Unfortunately it was a very dull scissor that would take at least two hours to cut through.

Fortunately, there was a whetstone to sharpen the scissors in the kitchen

Unfortunately, the kitchen had been blown up

Fortunately, the world record holder for holding your breath underwater the longest, happens to be a kid who goes to our school, and he volunteered to cut our ropes for us.

Unfortunately, an unexpected wave pushed him underwater and he drowned.

Fortunately, his sister goes to the same school as him, and is relatively good at holding her breath underwater too.

Unfortunately, she got eaten by a shark.

(LOL So evil! Sorry, can't think of something to follow up on that! Someone else go!)

(Thank you! I'll go again.)

Fortunately, the shark was eaten by another shark, so we didn't get splattered with human remains.

(I know that was weird but I couldn't think of anything else)

(No, I like that you think outside of the box! LOL You could've just just waited until someone else went!)

Unfortunatly the shark was still hungary.

Fortunately, we were able to hide before it turned us into a midnight snack.

Unfortunatly, we were still drowning

Fortunately our hiding place turned out to be an underwater cavern with plenty of air pockets to surface in!

Unfortunatly, there were so many of us, we only had a few minutes before we ran out of air

Fortunately, there were hundreds of the caverns so everybody got their own.

Unfortunately, that didn't prevent some of the more popular kids from getting greedy and killing other less popular kids to stay alive.

Fortunately, the popular kids were weak and the unpopular kids just pretended to be dead.

Unfortunatly, the popular Kids were not idiots

Fortunately, some of the unpopular kids were inventive geeks that invented really awesome weapons out of scraps they found.

Unfortunately the unpopular kids were not good fighters, so the weapons were useless to them.

Fortunately, the weapons were invented to do the fighting for them, so all they had to do was aim and fire.

Unforunately the weapons back-fired at the unpopular kids.
