Consequences II : As the Clock Struck 12

Consequences – the game where we write a short story by passing it around a table. Each person takes it in turns to write a line. To make it more interesting, they can only see the line before theirs. Everything else, including the start of the story, is hidden until the writing is over and the paper unfolded.

Our Halloween Horror session began with the phrase: "As the clock struck 12..." It seems there is no limit to the horrors our spookily creative writers can conjure up from this. We got almost everything from a Scooby Doo episode, to political satire, to updates on old classics. We even had cameo appearances from Harry Potter and Bob the Builder.

My apologies for the cringeworthy mix of Roman and Arabic numerals in this book's title.
