One-Liner Tale

"Locker number 16253407 please", Helen said, handing the key to the teller. "One moment please, " said the teller, as he picked up the phone to make a call...

She tried not to panic, but when she felt a gun being held tightly against her back, and a voice behind her saying "It's OVER Ms Helen"...

SS: I am in WI. You can help conclude this tale, and we can start afresh. Next time around, we should stick to the ONE-line rule though. I think that makes it more unpredictable, and makes more people participate.

Ok, I propose that we start a new tale. No point in dragging the previous one (though there were a lot of loose ends). Does anyone second? If so, then, they can start. (Only one sentence).

Helen knew she had lost ... and all was over. Unlike Helen of Troy, she didnt even have her beauty to use as a weapon. So she used the last resort she had - she bit the cyanide capsule hidden in her mouth, and was dead in an instant. As she drifted into an eternal oblivion and as her body hit the floor, her limbs got entangled in an advertisement banner hanging nearby. The cloth of the banner fell on the dead body of Helen - draping it like a shroud. The edge of the banner fluttered aside to reveal a single word of the advertisement - FINITO !

[DIG] Aruna & Sandhya : i am ok with starting a new story & have ended this one. either of you can start a new one & we can all try to stick to one sentence each ! [/DIG]

Ramky...

(BTW, nice pic of Maddy...) Nice dramatic ending!

Couple things that I learned from the last tale were:

1. Sudden twists, don't really work...the story doesn't get a chance to develop much, therefore the storyline keeps changing, and is hard to follow/continue. That was my observation.
2. We need to name the characters up front, otherwise, the "she"s and "he"s get mixed up. LOL

It was a beautiful California Spring Morning. The Smell of Freshly cut Grass had mixed in well in the air. The Birds Chirped, and Squirils played with the droplets of Dew on the dry Leaves that had comfortably taken their respective spots on her green lawn. The Sun was out and warm. She took a deep breath and exhaled. It was going to be a good day.
