Five Word Story
 

As an experiment, I thought it might be interesting to try a longer themed story creation thread, using five word instead of three word additions, while keeping a Middle-earth humor themed aspect to it. The primary conceptual factors were 1) to have a story that might develop along a steady storyline and 2) avoid (a personal proclivity here) a tendency towards overuse of "bathroom humor" and story tangents. In pursuit of objective "2" I'd like to employ an occasional moderating editorial voice by myself to edit addditions to the story (if okay with moderators). Just put quotes around five word suggested additions to the Middle-earth oriented story.

So, to begin:

"It was a dark and..."

.dismal pit for the orcs...,

...into which they dragged Smeagol...

...and left. After a few...

...Harsh words to their prisoner ...

...they started fighting each other.

I'll copy the stuff here once more...

"There should be another way" (the latter bracket of course pending if someone wants to continue Treebeard talking...)

...to torture Smeagol, such as...

"diction tutor to stone trolls,...

.......dressing him up in skirts....

"and reading him a story"

"about a man named Jed."
