So this is what we're doing. Writing a story line by line... Each person writes one line. The next person responds to that line. We'll number the lines so we know when it's done. You cannot write more than a line. Then when we get to thirty we'll compile the lines and quote it and start over. Don't just write any random shit. At least try to make it make sense, freak.

16.) "This would make a great postcard," said Amanda's neighbor at almost the exact time she was thinking it...

18.) So, Amanda addressed the post card to: This is your last chance, stamped
it, and dropped it into the mail box on the corner in front of Smitty's.

19.) A shabbily dressed man who had been watching discreetly came by and emptied his cup of vanilla ice coffee into the mail box.

Would it have been worth while,
To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question
To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"
T.S. Eliot

21.) A week later, when the shabbily dressed man got the postcard, addressed only
to: This is your last chance, he looked at the coffee stains, and he got
that it really was his last chance -- life was passing him by, and he had very
little joy -- and Amanda's postcard fanned the spark he had hidden deep inside,
making it blaze inside him and it showed on his face as a big, bright, happy smile.
