We need a new story!!!

[sebbie]

I'm thinking, maybe a cooperative venture, one in which each of us adds a paragraph or two as we want. and the story will just go where each of us takes it.

I'll start, and anyone is welcome to add some to it...


"I'm going to have to get my body into THAT?, James murmored to his friend, Bryan. James was only a freshman high school, and was just starting to understand what it meant to be a guy going through puberty. He had never swum on a team before. Bryan, on the other hand, was an old hand at it, a sophomore, and he "knew the ropes" of what it was like to be a competitive swimmer for the Tornados. He had swum last year, and was comfortable with what a swimmer seeking to be competitive needed to do....especially the early morning workouts in the pool. Bryan had been starting to use the weightlifting equipment at the gym at his high school too, and the results were beginning to show.

Jim, on the other hand, thought of himself as a scrawny kid, more of an ectomorph than a mesomorph. James had high hopes that swimming could help him make his body into a shape he admired rather than how he saw himself in the mirror as a barely 14-year old. James thought to himself "I hope I don't embarrass the Tornados this year!" Those guys are all bigger and more muscular than I am.


OK guys, you are next to take this story somewhere.
