...you mutter “damn, you can see the bird crap, eh?”

“Er, bird, sir? Best you have a look in the mirror. I hope ya ain’t goin’ anywhere importent.”

Bird indeed. A flash of movement pulls your eye to the window on the far wall, and there you see a gull on the sill, and though it only has a beak for a mouth, you get the distinct impression that the bird is leering gleefully at you.

But ornithology will have to wait; you hear the PA announcing the departure of your train in one minute! No time to clean the bird doo-doo, no time to figure out what soft goo broke your fall and is now clinging to your new navy blue, no time to wipe the slightly viscous liquid from your new briefcase. You pick yourself up, grab your bag, and bolt out the door into the crowd.

POSTING GUIDELINES

First off, if you don't understand how this all works, please check out our help page.
It should answer most of your basic questions.

All authors are responsible for their own content. We don't write this stuff. You do. So feel free to use a little adult humour, but please don't go overboard, or we'll have to flag the story as mature content.
Second, if you're adding a branch to an existing story, make sure that the new branches you create are individually appealing. This makes it easier to keep the storyline alive and kicking.
When you're writing, try not to write more than one or two segments of the same story at a time. It keeps the story fresher and funnier if you let others play along. :)
Posts need to be at least 140 characters long. That's about three average sentences, not too painful, but it prevents spamminess.
Finally, try not to kill off the main character in a story... at least, permanently. It can be pretty detrimental to the storyline — it's also useless, as someone is bound to revive the character.
If you find a problem somewhere, or see a bad posting, click the red report button on a story or user profile and report it to us!
Note: Please be careful if you spent a long period of time writing the same branch. It's entirely possible that someone else is completing the same branch as you, and in that case, since we don't lock posts while you edit, whoever posts first will "win" and you'll have to move your post elsewhere.
