The rules of the game will go like this, I will give you a starting page and you are to write your follow up page. Tomorrow I will create a new thread where the most liked follow up page is the new starting point, and we repeat. To qualify your follow up must be in between 300min -700max words. I will moderate it so that there is no smut or objectable content (rape, weird age stuff, etc.), implication such as saying these characters slept with each other is fine. If their is a tie I will choose the follow up, assuming the tied players don’t decide which of them goes into the next days post. I will link previous days in new days.

First page:
Yellow green grass is trampled underfoot as my grandpa and I move through the bramble. Cicadas screeched as the early autumn wind blew through the canopy above us.
“Yus, over here.” My grandpa called out and I hurriedly rush to him.
“Pappy what is that?” Before me was a wide patch of grass taller than I was. The top of the grass stalks had a strange corn dog looking thing on the top.
“That’s the cattail plant Yus. It grows near water and is what saved mine and your grammy’s life’s when we were young.
“Wow wow wow, how? Isn’t it grass? How can grass help you two to survive?”
“Woah there Yus, so many questions. Are you doubting your pappy? Bread is made of grass, corn is grass, baskets are usually made of grass too.”
“But how did it help you pappy?”
“Well you see the roots, tips, and sprouts of these things are edible, and their stalks can be weaved into ropes and baskets. You know the Grand War Yus?”
“Yes pappy, the Vern nation and the Yim nations invaded us. We lost almost everything that was not in the mountains until our allies came and helped us out.”
“Well did you know what your pappy and grammy did during the war? No? Well your grammy and I had left our village with all the kids and their moms. We left for the Ytem forest, your pappy and grammy’s old village was too far from the mountains for us to make it.”
“Really, how did you guys survive then? Teacher Ben said the people who didn’t make it to the mountains were attacked by the invaders?” My grandpa patted my head while looking past me.
“Well Yus, we had to be very secretive. We dug our homes in the ground, and kept to the forest. While there were a lot of struggles, your grammy and I managed to survive in the forest. Not only that, we were able to thrive at least more so than most communities that made it to the mountains.”
“How pappy? Isn’t that impossible? How could your village compare to the entire nation?”
“Well that is easy, Yus. We only had to worry about keeping 43 people safe and the nation had to worry about 3 million. By the end of the war everyone with us was full every day.”
“How? Well your grammy would say that it was mostly the adults who came with us, or something. But, seriously the forest most definitely provided quite enough for us all. All we needed to do is know what we were looking for.”
