Applied Media Research - Firsts & Lasts

The next activity we played is another storytelling game called 'Firsts and Lasts'. The idea is you take the first sentence and the last sentence from different books, and then create the middle. We thought this would be a good way to get the group feeling like authors. Here's what they came up with:

1. Pressia is lying in the cabinet. Wondering what to do with herself today. "Why am I in a cabinet?" she wonders. When all of a sudden a loud bang, "oh an aeroplane has crashed into my house" she exclaims. A lone man leaves the wreckage. His breathing became softer, lighter, finally it stopped altogether.
2. When I woke up the other side of the bed was cold. I did not know where she went. Company is hard to find in this world. Before the end. Before the storm. [Plot] Basically man wakes up to find his bed empty, he had a lady friend sleep over. But this is a zombie apocalypse world and she has turned into a zombie. So the main character learns to not trust anyone in this new world. Here's what I learned - you've got to be really good to survive out there more than a few days.
3. My Mother drove me to the airport. She's drunk. Again. Well one thing led to another and now... Something's caught fire.
4. My Mother drove me to the airport. As I got on the plane I was really nervous. I decided to take some sleeping tablets to help with the nerves. My eyes closed and I drifted...
5. When I woke up the other side of the bed was cold. I therefore decided to go downstairs and put my socks in the microwave. That is when I saw my husband lying face down on the floor with a knife in his back. His breathing became softer, lighter, finally it stopped altogether.
