Popcorn Saturday I

This is a post where I start out a story then I tag two other people. These two people will then continue writing. Once done, they'll tag two more people. And those two people will continue writing then tag two more people and ...... you get the point. It goes on till it reaches the 16th person. The 16th person gets to finish the story. I guess it's kinda like a meme.
I remember doing this back in grade school and it was always interesting what the finished product looked like. It's also a great exercise to sharpen your writing skills. Hopefully, everyone will be willing to participate in this. You don't need to write more than 5sentences or something. and Add as many twists as you can.

I'll start. Link your blog to the list as your add to the story. Be sure to also change the text color as you add to the story. This way your addition will be yours and be copy righted. So no one can steal our work. I think you get what I'm trying to get at here.

Starry Night

Sam could not believe his eyes. He knew something was bound to happen once he'd opened the box but this was definitely unexpected. The rain didn't do much to claim his excitement either. As he looked down, he caught a dirty reflection of himself in the puddle that was accumulating at his feet........

Here's who I tag to continue where I left off.
Hope's Bookshelf
Books Make Great Lovers

Be sure to let the person know that you have tagged them. and also if you're the 16th person, please tag me. If you could tag everyone who worked on the story then that would be great too. I'm sure they'd also love to see how the story turned out too.
