Story Without a Name
A couple weeks ago I was texting a friend of mine, who we will call Elsa, and after a while Elsa suggested that the two of us do a role playing game. Once we had each created a character and a basic story line, as well as a third character who hasn't been introduced yet who I am in charge of writing we started. After we had started working on it I liked how my side of the story was going so I decided to turn it into more of a story so I started flushing what I had already written and started adding things in. Since I just started writing it the story doesn't have a name yet.
They aren't the greatest but here are the first few paragraphs that I have written so far.
At 5’2” Carrie Richards barely touched the edge of the
sleeping bag that sat on top of the shelving unit in the basement that held all
of her camping gear. Grasping what she could Carrie pulled the fat roll towards
her. Once it was off the shelf Carrie placed the sleeping bag next to the
stairs. Facing the shelves again Carrie pulled everything that she needed off
of them. When all of the camping gear was out of the basement Carrie placed it
all in a neat pile next to the end of her SUV. Going back inside Carrie sat
down at the large island in her kitchen with a pad of paper and a pen and
created a list of all of the food that she would need as well as anything extra
that needed to come with her. After she finished creating the list Carrie
walked through her house and made piles of all of the things on her list that
she had. Once she finished doing that Carrie walked down the street to get the
rest of what she needed.
When everything was packed in an orderly fashion in the
trunk of the SUV Carrie walked through the house and turned a light on in
several rooms and closed the blinds. Once she finished Carrie climbed into her
car and pulled out of the drive way. As she drove down the gravel road towards
town and the highway Carrie smiled at the thought of several days relaxing in
the woods. By the time Carrie reached the campground it was late and the ranger
had already left for the day. After eating a quick snack Carrie made herself
comfortable in the back seat of the car and went to sleep. In the morning, when
the ranger returned, Carrie got a camping sight with electricity and drove out
of the parking lot. When she found the number on her ticket Carrie pulled into
the camp site and parked her car. Opening the trunk Carrie unloaded the tent
and started setting it up.
Once the tent was set up Carrie placed a door mat in front
of the entrance and then took her shoes off. Carrie stepped inside the tent
with a broom and started sweeping out the dirt and dust that had been tracked
inside. When she finished Carrie placed her sleeping bag and pillow inside
along with her duffel bag of clothing. Once the rest of the camp had been set
up Carrie looked at her watch and saw that it was lunch time. Picking up a
small bucket Carrie walked along the path towards the bath house and found the
water pump and filled her bucket up on her way back from the bathroom.
