Hello all you writers out there! This is a fun community project as well as a challenging game to sharpen your writing skills. This is a game that grew out of an idea between a poster at Open Salon (Bill S) and myself.

Well the CAT (as they say) is out of the not so secretive BAG!

Part III of My Story continues. Part II Part I Today, we continue on after the Bank of America was graced with my presence for the first time. Working the night-owl shift was a real hoot. We got there at eleven o'clock, at least that's when we were supposed to get there, but the first night I found out the owl-shift had some leeway. There were about 100 women pounding on IBM...

I am so weary of walking against the windThat some day I shall turn and run away with itYou shall not notice for you'll be busySome will say, what a pity she is deadThen you shall remember long ago shared dreamsAnd say no, she is walking with the windI hear her feet running helter skelterThrough tree tops as the wind goes rushing by.
