In this game, I'll start a story and every post will be a line continuing that story. Let's limit each line to 20 words or less. Here we go:

It was a dark and stormy night, when....

...I entered the old, abandoned shoe machine factory. Deep within, I thought I could hear voices speaking.

Cautiously, I made my way towards the door leading to a hallway lined with private offices. Unexpectedly, I tripped on...

... a cat, which yowled and ran away. "Curses!" I cursed under my breath. "Foiled again - and by a white cat!"

With the cat out of my way, I peered into the dim hallway. Two voices emanated from a door on the left.

"We should bury them so no one can find them," one voice said.
The other voice spoke in hushed tones and said...

"There's a place in the woods that's pretty remote. Help me get them in my car." One of the men opened the door...

... and put a sack in the car. There was a pathetic yelp from within the sack.

"Zounds!" Methought. "Those fiends shalt bury a dog - and 'tis still alive! Also, why am I thinking in Ye Olde Butchered English?"

Determined these two dastardly fiends wouldn't bury any live animals, I grabbed a Maglite from a side table and...

... turned it on. The two blackguards blinked in the light.

"Stop right there!" I shouted. A fork of lightning split the sky melodramatically (and conveniently).

"Ow! Stop shining that light... wait... Brad? Is that you?" Another fork of lightning split the sky conveniently (and melodramatically).

"Frank?" I couldn't believe my eyes. "And Tony! What are you two up to!?"

"This stupid dog toy my aunt got for my sister won't turn off. We even took out the batteries."

Right then....

... another man approached shining a flashlight at the three of us. "What's going on here?"

We squinted into the light. "Turn that damn thing off! What are you trying to do, blind us?"
