One word per person at a time, a tale has grown. All the ingredients of a best-seller - ie., words - but fairly randomly distributed.
Some choice extracts:▲▲▲▲
▼Lustre shone gracefully across the fields, where rainbows spanned dewdrops condensing from morning clouds, floating precipitously over time. Footprints fade, bringing pathways to an end. Winged sunshine proffered flight of nights cloaked. Bats, starlight-dancing shadows, create dreamy mystifications. Cobwebs intertwine moist mountains peeping over thinning moments of departure. Fowls spiraling on whimsical updrafts chatter joyously. Hidden crevices hold feathered offspring awaiting scrumptious regurgitations of sky-pudding. Evaporating dew, scintillating smells of spring effervescent, wafting aloft.
▼Malfoy likes humbugs, artistically placed next door.
▼Perilously near the fire crackers - "Quick! Fetch a bucket and douse the flaming Pope!" cried Amaryllis, who removed his swastika before revealing paunch and thighs. Serendipity stepped forth, grotesque. Encircling curlicues spewed. Chunky carrots mixed with custard landed upon the wrong Pope, squashing His Holiness's crozier into mangled pastel shades of puce.
▼Wintertime arrived slowly, bringing penguins to adore themselves without hope.▲
