Group Story

Anyone who wants to enter is welcome. The object of this contest is to write a group story. In the comments below write at least ONE full sentence, or a full paragraph. There is no limit on how much you can write. Just read what the person before you wrote and then add to it. I'll start out by giving the first line of the story.
Also, you can come back and add to the story as many times as you like.

Here is the first line.
