The Alphabet Game

[Cynus]

"Even if you practice every day, you'll never throw as well as this old geezer. Watch and learn, boys!"

[Valkyrie]

"Forty years ago, I was a professional football player." 

[Reader1810]

"Great! Then, show those boys how a pro throws a football!"

[Cynus]

Just a refresher on the scene.

Scene: Two elderly men in the park complain about a group of teenagers some distance away

Letter: K

"Here you go boys! Go long! Longer! That's it, keep running!" Edward throws the football as far as he can, only to have it land in the middle of the park's large duck pond.

[Reader1810]

"I'm sorry about the ball landing in the pond boys.  Guess my throwing arm is a little rusty." muttered Edward none too convincingly.

"Jesus! How are we gonna settle this?"

[Reader1810]

"Killjoy." Xavier uttered under his breath "Never mind settling this. That was my brother's football. He's gonna be pissed!"

[Cynus]

"Killjoy." Xavier uttered under his breath "Never mind settling this. That was my brother's football. He's gonna be pissed!"

Your turn to give us a scene and a letter.

[Reader1810]

Scene:  The local Dairy Queen has stayed open late to help their customers beat the heat. Mike and Jeff decide to head over.

Letter: L

 

"Luke's working at DQ. Want to go and see if he'll give us blizzards on the house? You know, since he likes you and all."

[Cynus]

"Maybe for me, but I don't know about you. The way you're always hanging on me people think we're dating rather than best friends. You might make Luke jealous."

[Drew Espinosa]

"Nah, I highly doubt Luke listens to that gossip."

[Valkyrie]

"Oh, you'd be surprised." 

[Drew Espinosa]

"Question time! Do you like anyone?"

[Valkyrie]

"Really?  You're seriously asking me that?"

[Drew Espinosa]

Dammit, I forgot P, I need more sleep to focus on this game

 

"Sean, please answer"

 

PS: at least I added P here

"That's not fair. You know I hate my first name," Jeff pouted.

[Drew Espinosa]

"Uh huh, you know when I use your first name, it means I am being serious."

[Reader1810]

"Very funny.  You.....serious? Give me a break, you don't even know what the word means!"

[Cynus]

"Well, the person I like is . . ." Jeff looked down at his lap, his hands clenched in fists in order to keep his fingers from fidgeting nervously. "I can't tell you. I'm sorry, I can't tell you Mike. I don't think you'd understand."

[Drew Espinosa]

"Ximena? Is she the one you like?"

[Cynus]

"You, Mike . . . I like you. And I know what you're going to say about how you thought I was straight, but you're the only one I want."

[Drew Espinosa]

"Zero chance!" and Mike looked into his face and saw the truth, "b-but how? You've always talked about girls... when did this happen?"

[Reader1810]

"About a month ago, at the school dance, Shelly saw me watching you and Luke. We talked and she helped me realize my feelings for you went deeper than friendship...."

[Cynus]

"But . . . Jeff, you should have told me a lot sooner."




PS: Thank you so much for playing this game with me, friends. When I get stuck in writing I just have to come here for a moment and write a few lines, and it seems to get me unstuck. it's sort of like responding to a prompt.

[Reader1810]

"Couldn't tell you what I didn't know myself. By the time I realized the truth, it was too late. You only had eyes for Luke"

 

 

 

 

 

PS: Hey, it's fun for us too. Glad you had this idea.

I couldn't produce a whole story, but these snippets are challenging.
