We haven't had one of these for a while now, have we?  Ok, I'll start us off and you add your contribution.  All I politely ask is that we keep within the context of the story...no going off on unrelated/nonsensical/spammy tangents! This is SERIOUS! We may have a best seller! Ha, ha 

OK, here goes:


Martha squinted her eyes against the dazzling sun. She was aware of a light breeze brushing her face and something  crawling over her foot. She sat up and brushed a small spider away. "Where the hell am I?" She thought. She was thirsty, tired and confused. She tried to get her thoughts in order. Dad was annoyed at her for some reason, she remembered that. Her cousin Robert had walked out of the house, and her mother was crying...

Suddenly the memories hit her like a ton of bricks. Martha had left the house to go after  Robert but ended up tripping and hitting her head. Martha rubbed her sore head while attempting to stand. Her cousin had walked out due to feeling unaccepted by her dad. He had just came out of the closet. Martha wobbled slightly trying to find her balance before continuing in the direction she saw Robert head. Thoughts racing in her head...even if she found her cousin what would she say? Martha had always thought of Robert as a brother, he had lived with them for years since his parents died.

After some time meandering around and not knowing what the hell she was doing...let alone where she was going, Martha decided the best course of action, would be to head back to the house.  Robert was nowhere to be seen. She needed a strong coffee...and, hopefully, Robert would be back at the house, eating breakfast.  Yes.  She was certain he would have gone back...he was always an attention seeker....making everyone worry, then laughing when he was found.  It was all a big joke to him.
