Flash Fiction Challenge: 200 Words At A Time, Part 4
Third round: boom, right here.
And we’re back.
This experiment has been kinda totally awesome so far.
This is the second to last part. Only one more round to go after this…
The rules are simple:
Look through the 600-word entries from last week (round three, linked above).
Pick one.
Add another 200 words to the story.
(Easiest way forward is to copy the chosen 600 words to your own blog, then add the next 200. Don’t forget to link to your unfinished 800-word story in the comments. Someone may want to continue the tale next week, for part four.)
You do not need to have participated in the earlier rounds to participate in this one.
Try to continue a story in which you have not yet participated.
Do not finish the story. This is a five-part fiction experiment: we’ll end the year with several 1000-word stories, each built out of 200-word chunks by you guys. This is a collaborative game. It is Whisper Down the Lane. It is Telephone. It should be very interesting by the end. One hopes.
You’ve got one week.
Due by Friday, December 20th, noon EST.
Join the narrative chain, won’t you?

Because others have done such a good job capturing the connections.
The first 200 words were contributed by Joe at: http://joebrewing.wordpress.com/
The second 200 words were composed by Morag Donnachie at: http://confusinmusing.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/well-i-did-it.html
The third 200 words were written by Jeremiah Boydstun: http://jeremiahboydstun.com/2013/12/13/200-words-round-iii-121313/

There seem to be multiple versions of “Joe’s Bar” circulating — so be it. This is the version started by The Urban Spaceman, seconded by Rebecca Douglas, and added to last week by Jim Franklin. I’ve stuck my fourth segment on it at:

It has been a helluva week people and I was going to try to whip a continuation out this morning…but find myself swimming (and sinking) in this legion of comments. Anybody got one they know hasn’t been done that they were hoping to see continued quickly?
December 20, 2013 @ 9:29 AM
How about this one? 🙂 http://pilcrowsandcedillas.wordpress.com/2013/12/02/chuck-wendigs-flash-fiction-challenge/
December 20, 2013 @ 9:44 AM
Hmmm, looks like The Padded Castle already got that one. We are on the fourth round, right? I have to admit, I’m feeling a bit dim here because all of these links everywhere are making my head spin…so let me know if I’m wrong about that! 😉
December 20, 2013 @ 10:06 AM
You’re right on both counts. 🙂 The Padded Castle got it and the links can make one’s head spin!
December 20, 2013 @ 9:43 AM
Oh wait! Sorry about that. It’s already been done. http://thepaddedcastle.wordpress.com/2013/12/15/challenge-part-four-200-more/

To my knowledge, no one has picked up mine from Round 3, if you’re still looking for one. http://reneeelizabeths.blogspot.com/2013/12/flash-fiction-200-words-at-time-part.html
December 20, 2013 @ 9:54 AM
I’M ON IT! 🙂
December 20, 2013 @ 10:58 AM

I’m not entirely sure of the provenance of this piece. The previous author didn’t have links to the previous authors.

Birthed by Strange Corners, schooled by mckkenzie and bought a first car by Justice, this piece has now been gainfully employed by me:
