This is a game we used to play in high school. I'm going to write the title and first sentence of a story. Someone else add sentence #2. Then someone else add sentence #3. (Etc.)
Anyone want to play? Given the forum membership, this will probably evolve better than what we then-eleventh grade math students used to come up with.
Okay, here goes:
Title: Rossetti's Wombat: A Murder Mystery
"The poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti had a pet wombat."

It was a friendly little thing the poet had raised from a baby, which had been abandoned in the wild near her secluded home in the Australian bush.

...ghostly apparition with flaming strawberry blond locks, the spitting image of Lizzie Siddal, Rossetti's long-time lover.

This magical and miraculous transformation lasted precisely 53 minutes.

But only because a fairy godmother had restricted the magical transformation so as to best encourage multiple orgasms.
(I couldn't help it.)

After the 53 minutes were up, the wombat was quite surprised to find it had turned into a woman named Becca, who had been living a parallel life on the exact same kind of thread not two days prior. http://chronicle.com/forums/index.php/topic,37082.90.html |

If you need me, I'll be hiding under a rock until mid-August. Try not to need me, unless you come bearing Chinese food.

At around 4:02am, the post-transformation wombat would begin eating cheese doodles.
