    All Free's talk of her writing made me think of a game we played in English class where one person would start a story, leave it at a cliff hanger, then the next person would pick up the story and bring it wherever they wanted...I'll start one off and if nobody wants to play we'll let it die...
    If anyone does want to play, please quote the post you're carrying on from, could get confusing otherwise...

    Specialist Gustav sits in a room...waiting for a small, red light to turn on. He graduated top of his high-school, joined the Army, beat everyone else's scores in basic and AIT. Specialist Gustav is one of the best and the brightest, and where does he get stationed? In a backwater, armpit-smelling swamp, sitting in a closet sized office, watching a small light for six weeks...It has not gone off.

    Gustav's eyelids are getting heavy. He's about to fall asleep, it won't be the first time. Gustav can sleep on the job all he likes, nobody ever checks on him.

    Just as he reflects on the failure his life has become, the impossible happens...The small red light begins to glow and spin...Specialist Gustav pauses for a moment, trying to remember what he's supposed to do next...
