Lol why do you feel like you're interrupting?

We both imagined how cool it might be to have a story that is built by more than two people.

This story goes way back. Some of the threads are broken because we didn't reply directly to a prior post.

The original post that started it all was this one:

school shooting
. etc etc etc

PS this drew is different than the other drew

Vietnamese coffee belly broth
He went to pay for his discounted meal but was surprised. On the house, the owner said, his eyes closed, head down in a slight bow. He had even had a Vietnamese coffee after his meal. Why were they not making him pay.

"Please, let me pay."

"No it is okay. You...
