A sentence at a time

[Judel]

I'm going to try something different.  Each time I visit, I will add a sentence.  If anyone else wants to play along, feel free to add a sentence of your own, and I'll add on.  Until that happens, I'll just create a story one sentence at a time.

There was a time long ago when all the children went missing.

[Judel]

No one knew why they vanished or if they would be found.

[Judel]

Of course the parents were the prime suspects, even though they all helped with the search.

[Judel]

When all hope seemed lost, and arrests were about to be made, all the kids reappeared.

[Judel]

Everyone was overjoyed, though none of the children knew where they'd been.

[Judel]

All were questioned, separately and together, but they all said the same thing, "we didn't go anywhere."

[Judel]

The parents were frustrated and scared but thankful to have their children back home...then the nightmares started.

[Judel]

The screams filled all homes with kids, and the parents rushed to their bedsides.

[Judel]

All the boys and girls breathlessly exclaimed, "It's nothing," further frustrating their distraught mothers and fathers.

[Judel]

Only one little girl said something different, "It wants us back."
