Exquisite corpse
meets March Madness.

Every day you're randomly assigned one line to add to a three-sentence micro-story you can't see beyond the last sentence. Then the stories go head-to-head in a bracket, voted on by the people who wrote them, until one story wins.

  1. 1
    The Stories

    You're assigned a story and shown one sentence: the line before yours. Only whoever writes line 1 ever sees the day's prompt.

  2. 2
    The Reactions

    Later today, everyone who wrote gets three hours to react to the other stories with an emoji.

  3. 3
    The Bracket

    Reactions seed the top four stories. The next day, everyone votes them down to one champion.

Part 1 · The Stories

Add one line

Today's prompt is sealed

Only whoever starts a story gets to read it. If you're dropped into a story that's already going, all you get is the sentence before yours.

You don't pick your story and you don't pick your line number. Ask for your assignment and you'll be dropped somewhere in today's field.
