| |
| An Exquisite Cadaver is a little game created by a group of people |
| long ago. The rules are simple: someone writes a line, and the |
| next writer must continue but they can only read the last word of |
| the previous sentence. They believed that, deep inside, everyone |
| was connected, and it showed that, even with the restrictions, |
| the story had a central topic that united it. The one below was |
| created by different storytellers who participated in this the |
| first Exquisite Cadaver of the Storytellers' Club. Their names |
| are Zillian, Hexen, Ives and Emelvia. |
| The game was organized and the story compiled by Kyara |

| Night is at last upon us, blanketing the sky with vast and never |
| ending stars that seem to hold stories of romance and adventure of |
| times long long past. |
| However, it was almost lunch time and therefore time to focus on the |
| most important things at hand: tacos. |
| That had been covered in every topping imaginable, including |
| those that are not worth mentioning, we must all realize that only |
| darkness is pure as light can't be stained. |
| A rusty sword leaves oxidized iron stains on its scabbard and the |
| wounds of its victims. |
| Of this terrible act were devastated. |
| Devastated they were, to learn that their women and children had been |
| enslaved and their men were slaughtered with their body parts |
| scattered across their once lush and fertile fields. |
| Use of swords and plowshares leave furrows in the earth - sowing |
| different crops for later reaping. |
| Sowing, rowing, blowing, snowing...all of this just made her fixate |
| on how much she really wanted those delicious steaming tacos. |
| Taco's were made from their corpses as the orcs cackled and cheered |
| victoriously, that of elves, men, hobbits and dwarves shoved into the |
| giant meat grinder with glee. |
| The sages warn against pursuing happiness through the wielding of |
| steel. |
| It settled in her stomach like a ball of metal, and she began to |
| regret her choice of vendor for that seemingly delicious taco. |
