The Story Game

[MSB]

This thread aims to add a story game to the Mead Hall. It basically involves each person posting a sentence into the thread that follows on from the previous post. Nobody should post straight after themselves: they should wait until at least two more people have posted till they post again. Eventually it should make a strange story that ends in an unexpected and peculiar way. I want to see where we get to after a few months.

I'll start with:
It was a cold, sinister and bitter evening as the young child, named Robert, crawled through the misty and bizarre wood.
