Welcome to Follow Me Friday!
---
Thanks to all our writers last week!
It was great to see all of the different ways Cam found adventure!
Here’s How It Works
1. Every Friday a new post will be pinned at r/WritingPrompts with a 200-ish word starter for your story.
- There will be a variety of themes and genres to work with. After the initial “prompt” portion of the story, it will need a “Middle” and an “Ending”. That’s where you come in.
2. Every participant must write a 300 word “Middle”.
- You must have a top-level reply to the post that is 100 to 300 words and continues the story without ending it. Leave room for the next writer to add their creative touch.
- You must title your comment with the following: <2/3>.
3. Once you have written a “Middle” you are qualified to write an “Ending”.
- You may reply to someone else’s “Middle” section with an “Ending” to the story. It must be 100 to 300 words and finish the story.
- Title your comment with the following: <3/3>.
4. Comments can then be placed on the “Ending” section.
- Non-story comments can only be placed on the stickied comment thread or after an “Ending” as a reply.
- Top level or second level comments will be removed if they are not story sections.
5. “Middle” comments are due by Tuesday 11:59PM CST. “Ending” comments are due by Wednesday 11:59PM CST
Are There Winners?
Yes!
Use comments and upvotes to identify your favorite thread! Reply to the Ending comment with your feedback and that thread will be considered for “Commenter’s Choice”.
There will of course be my favorite thread as well: “Cheetah’s Choice”.
That makes a whole lot more sense if you join our discord and see my profile pic.

This Week’s Story Starter
Smoke trailed lazily into the air. A man in a worn-out hat pulled his trench coat tighter around his waist before stepping out of the shadows and onto the wooden boardwalk. He wore no expression on his face, but his limp spoke volumes about who he was.
Norman Steen hobbled up to a lamppost with his cigar still in his mouth. He eyed the approaching cab, letting the wind of its arrival flow past him. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
"Why, what do we have here?" he asked with a charming smirk. Dori Steen exited the cab, returning his smile. Her dazzling green dress sparkled in the dim moonlight.
"I didn't think you would make it," she replied.
"Anything for you, my love."
"How sweet."
Steen nodded, leading her away from the street. Before he had taken three steps, he gestured to the dark, hollow alleyway. A bestial hand protruded into the lamplight and gestured back. Then the smile returned to Steen's face. An unnaturally wide smile.
