So I will give everyone a word, and from that word you will have to write a story. The word doesn't have to be in it, you just have to come up with something from that word. And make it as long as you possibly can.

So the first word is....

"dont worry kid, youve got this, this is the one to get you in the door. you do this simple gig and others will start flowing in."
all i heard was no more ramen noodles and kraft dinner. money isnt the easiest thing to come by when you have no one and nothing. but people get paid just by playing pretend. i could do that. why shouldnt i do that? the thought of stage fright never even entered my mind.
do i think that this will be different? the curtain goes up in 5 and i am holding up ok. taking the herbal supplement was a good idea. i needed it to get me here again thats for sure. the other actors are all waiting for me to faint, waiting for this side part actor wannabe to throw up on stage. i hear they even have a pool going for when i throw up. its up to 500 bucks if i blow it on stage. the dead pool.
not this time though, this time i will be fine. this time i will make it. this time i will show them how to be a background character. my 3 lines and following behind the main actors acting will be the backbone of the production. goodbye no one, hello stage lights.
"Such an idiot!" I said as I ran as fast as I could. How did I always let myself get talked into doing things. Maybe I had a problem, I don't know. But at that moment, the only thing I could think about was getting away from it as fast as I could. I had already seen what it did to the others, and I sure didn't want to be next. It was crashing through the branches and brush behind me and I could feel my heart beating hard in my chest.
I finally broke through the woods and emerged into an open field. I cursed under my breath. Or course I had made a wrong turn, but there was no time to contemplate. I took in a very deep breath and continued on. Though my legs burned with tiredness, screaming at me to stop. All the while my brain told me to keep going, I didn't want to be a stain on the ground.
I was relieved when I saw a light off in the distance, a house? Maybe a cottage? It didn't matter as long as I could find some place to hide. Getting there seemed like it too longer then it should have. It felt like hours before I reached the place. I looked behind me and didn't see it anywhere. Had it stopped following me, gave up? I stopped my thoughts and knocked as hard as I could on the door.
There was hardly any delay as the door creaked slowly open. I gasped as I saw a lady standing in the door way. Her skin looked as though it had fallen off years ago, and her eyes had whitened with it. Before I could speak, she stepped out and stared right at me.
"I cannot help you now child." She said, her voice raspy as though she had smoked all her life. But I couldn't smell it on her breath at all. "Run." She said suddenly, and then quickly retreated into the house again.
"Wait!" I yelled and pounded on the door, but there was no other response. All I heard was the familiar swoosh, and the smell of burnt garbage filled my nose. I didn't have to turn around, the only thing that went through my mind was....I never should have taken that dare.

I remember walking up to the big old house with a wrap around porch, where in parts the paint was faded and the window shutters were completley gone in parts and some hanging on by just a small piece ready to fall at any moment. My throat was so dry and my palms sweating and thinking to myself "we shouldn't be here, please let's just go now" wishing i could say that to my friends out loud but I didn't want to seem like the only one terrified to go into the house. It was halloween after all and every year it was a group of seniors picked to spend a whole night in the house. Stupid idea if you ask me. Except Brian was so cute I wanted him to like me so if i chickend out he would have probably made fun of me and I would never stand a chance. We walked in the front door and you were just hit with a harsh musty smell dust was covered on every service and there was creepy art everywhere the kind that you see in a scary movie where it feels like the eyes are following you. We started hanging in the living room talking about how we should split up in pairs and search the place see if anything happens. We had all heard about the scary things that went on here and how 5 years ago there was a family who lived here and everyone was murdered but nobody found the killer. I always thought it was made up to scare people though. It just seemed like the perfect story for a old scary house like this. So we split into teams and I get stuck with kyle who has lived across from me since we were kids and always picked on me with my brothers. Of course Katie would pick Brian she always gets what she wants. So me and Kyle walk up the stairs and go all the way up to what looks like a hall that will never end and it's so dark that you can't see everything clearly. So many shadows for anyone to be hiding in. As we check out the rooms nothing happens I'm starting to think that all the rumours of this place being haunted is a joke. I hear Kyle say "hey i'm going to check this room, you check the one across the hall." I really didn't like that idea i mean hasn't he seen a single horror movies that's like rookie mistake. So as I walk to the room I hear this thud like something hit the floor so I step back into the hall and call kyles name. Just as I shine my flashlight to the hallway there is this man who starts screaming a horrible sound and starts running at me. Next thing I know i'm waking up off the floor the man is gone and I am running around screaming for all my friends yet no one answers me. I head downstairs and watch this group of kids about my age walk in. I'm screaming at them to help me and running around them and it dawns on me that none of them are reacting to me. I step back and start freaking out wondering what's going on. Just as I went to scream at them again someone touches my shoulder and i turn around to see Katie and Kyle standing there Katie has her throat slit and Kyle has blood coming down his head. I ask them what's going on and all Katie say's is "It's no use Megan they won't hear you" Then it all comes back to me the man running after me the knife sliding into my gut and as I feel the blood flow down my stomach and my hands covered in it trying to pull the knife out and the man standing over me laughing telling me "I'll never be able to leave" followed by a horrible laugh. Then as I'm standing there looking on the new set of seniors about to follow in out path I look to my friends I wish to myself that Ii hadn't opened my locker that day and saw my name on the document that was for our senior year.
Stars this planet is strange. The plant and animal life....I have never seen anything quite like it before. And to think all of it would be gone soon. All thanks to the stupid Order. Them and there stupid purger machine. But as much as I disliked it, for the moment I was part of them. They had me right right where they wanted me. And all I could do was wait for the right moment to break out. But for now, this collar and the detector around my ankle were keeping me to the task that they had provided for me. That is until the rebels finally came to save me. Me and the rest of us, being kept against our will. All of us had a Mandate to follow, so of them were harder to follow then others.
