Penny’s Pass the Story

I’m delighted to introduce our shiny new writing challenge. Our very own Penny4athought will donate $50 to ABCTales if we can finish her story in ten parts.

How it works:

Penny has posted the first part here and celticman has taken up the baton!

https://www.abctales.com/story/penny4athought/pennys-pass-story

To be next in line to do a part of the story, you will need to comment under the previous part and it'll be first come first served

You’re welcome to leave regular comments under each part too, just make it clear if you want to go next.

Each writer has a maximum of five days to complete their part, but if you can finish it sooner please do

Participants must clearly mark their story “Penny’s Pass the Parcel’ Part 2/3/4 etc

The word limit for each part will be 2000 words (but that’s a limit, not a target)

You can take the story in any direction you choose, so long as you follow on from the previous part, and the final part needs to tie it all up

All participants get a cherry and ABCTales gets the money – win win!

Thank you Celticman for starting this off and with an intriguing chapter so the next writer can pull those threads and weave us the next. Who will it be?
