It's Short Story Time Again!

Every now and again, I like to give The Diner patrons a chance to use the cafe as a place to hone their creative skills and we write a short story together. I start out with the "prompt" and then each commenter adds to the story...and you HAVE to build on what the previous writer left. Here's this summer's starter:

He'd just turned up the CD player to try to get the events of the last three hours out of his head. Sure, he'd thought about pulling this off for the entirety of his adult life, but now that it had happened he wasn't sure it was as fulfilling as he'd hoped. The White Stripes were beginning to get his thoughts off it, but just as he'd start to erase the images from his mind, she'd pull up another photo on the digital camera and show it to him...and actually laugh. "No, really. Laura, stop doing that. Please just stop. Look, I need a break. I'm just going to take the next exit and maybe we can put the top up and talk about what it is exactly that we should do next."

Have at it, patrons!
