Exquisite Corpse Story
Last, but not least, we invited any who passed by our booth to write one word each, creating a story one piece at a time. Here is the finished product:
The man who slayed a unicorn in a public restroom near Kroger’s felt invalidated after praying to Voldemort so insanely that he was flabbergasted and confuddled by the Illuminati. Unfortunately, Alex Jones’ kidneys detected a corpse inside the tomato paste. Strawberry Shortcake limerick river. However! The river swept over the banks. Magical dragons and happy elves danced systematically across the chasm of embers aflame. Exasperated, the burning wolf who howled towards the winter phoenix. Then, teamwork made chitty chitty bang bang illegal through loquacious infinity chill. All throughout our campus: house and tomato paste.
