Possibly it has escaped your attention that an exercise in group storytelling is in progress! It is ridiculous and awesome and I am dying to find out what happens next, and yet I cannot write every installment, nor even every other one! (Not because there's any rule against it or anything. That just isn't the way my brain works.) Therefore it is for selfish and unselfish reasons alike that I inform you that you, too, could have a ton of fun throwing words at your computer screen for no good reason!
It's been a little quiet over the weekend, but before things slowed down, we'd racked up a hapless yet snarky protagonist, a broken washing machine, a world-weary repair guy, a couple of plot twists, an interactive fiction in-joke, and the following brilliant pun (which I preface with some of what I wrote so that the joke works):
(Can you be spoilered for a story that hasn't hit a thousand words yet?)
Seriously, this is A+ silliness, people! There is approximately zero pressure but INFINITE POSSIBILITY. As usual, I cannot shut up once I open my mouth, but the average contribution is at about the 50-word range, and you could totally add ten words and we would love you for it. At least, I know I would. I'm just saying!

"OKAY, YEAH, THAT WOULD BE YOUR PROBLEM, RIGHT THERE," HE SAYS.
YOU FOLLOW HIS GAZE. THE SAME ESOTERIC DIAGRAM IS PAINTED ON THE FLOOR THAT WAS THERE WHEN YOU MOVED IN....
HE TELLS YOU THAT YOUR WASHING MACHINE IS POSSESSED.
YOU PROTEST THAT YOU KEPT WITH THE PAYMENTS, AND THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A DEFAULT NOTICE ANYWAY.
