[2023] Answer a Question with a Question.
The idea is - the start will start with a question.
The next poster, continues the story - but they must answer the question.
But somehow fit in another question (which ideally is at the end).
So for example, I might write:
John saw a man standing alone, wearing a watch. He approached and asked, "Do you have the time?"
Someone could reply:
"Why, yes I do. Why do you ask?"
Then someone else could add:
"I have an appointment at 9pm. Is it almost 9pm?"
Then another might say:
"Yes, it is. Where is your appointment?"
And so on and so on.
So I will start:
Dave approached a young man standing near a bus stop and asked, "Where you headed, kid?"

Mrs. White, you've been paying our friend, the blackmailer, ever since your husband died under, shall we say, mysterious circumstances?
