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?"
