@Spelbound how about we write a bunch of short stories in the one book and each time that new character bumps into someone else it's a character from one of the other short stories and the last chapter is a really long and we somehow knit all the short stories together or we write a story about to hit men that are hired by a person to kill each other. So hit man 1 is hired to kill hit man 2 and hit man 2 is hired to kill hit man 1.
