Prisoner Experiment

This is, for the most part, a nonsensical story made up from sentences read at random from various books in a small town library. It makes a weird kind of sense, and yet ends up in a completely different place than it started. You can do this yourself by taking a couple of friends, one to be the stenographer, the others to find the sentences. Pick books at random, open them up, and read the first complete sentence that you see. You can make your own rules, such as "consecutive quotations can be made into one quote, and so on. have fun! You'll be surprised at what can happen.

Are we prisoners? Riding up all covered with blood and dirty bandages, and sometimes there's a rebel yell. At that moment, Mr. Boggle stopped playing.

"Thank you, brother."

Did I think it mattered? Ya, there was tennis this spring.

"Seventeen last April."

"So am I," Walter agreed. One more thing. "Can I feed him?"

"Me too!"

"Yes, I'll fight them."

I hung around the outside of the house for a while. Clank! Clank! Clank!

"The bath. And did he pay for his bandage?"

"If you please, sir. Get away from the baby!"

"You got any popcorn? Come on, let's go. Who drank my beer?"

The dogs didn't move, but looked at us with the meanest eyes I ever saw. She managed a smile. "Oh, poor Pansy."

The truck started up again. The dog had been there, too.

"What?"

"Very possible. Oh, there you are D'Arcy." I lowered my voice. "Perry tried to bribe me."

"I'm not blushing."

"Meanie!"
