This story is going great so far! A lot of nice entries here. I actually thought about doing something like this before, though instead of 50 word entries, it would be different posts continuing the story. Kind of like leaving every ending with an open-ended problem that the next post should try to solve. Suffice to say, I didn't push through with it because there would be know community participation haha!

What you did here is awesome though! The 50-word entries is really a sustainable model, and it would be interesting to see how this story would turn out. Lots of different writing styles, so it's great to see that it's all meshing well so far.
