One day as I was exploring the globe lying on my desk, a small pyramid
shaped island caught my interest. I quickly grabbed my magnifying glass and looked at the island once again. It was then that an idea struck me! All of a sudden it felt as if I found the key to creativity. It was coming to me from all directions! It was such a relief; at least I didn't have to count any more sheep or keep staring at the lone moon to get some sleep! While I was gathering my thoughts, my phone rang.
I answered the phone. It was my friend. She sounded so happy and couldn't control her excitement and started talking about how a fountain of ideas just came to her. She talked about the fishes, the turtles and more. Was that just a coincidence? My focus went back to the island on the globe. It was as if there was something about that island; something magical... I looked again and it was almost as if I could see a distinct "L" shape in the center of the island.
My happy friend finally hung up. I kept looking at the island with the magnifying glass. What looked like an "L" shape was now taking the shape of a castle tower. I was puzzled. Was sleep taking over? But this wasn't the time to sleep! Ideas were blossoming. I should be noting them down somewhere. It was at that moment I heard a scream, as if someone was being chased by a ghost! If my calculations were right, it came from next door. Since no one was at home, I decided to take matters into my hand and grabbed my grandma's walking stick just in case. As I looked out of my window, I saw there was fire!
I went outside. It was as if the entire neighborhood was sleeping while our neighbor's house was on... fire? Where was the fire? What did I see then? There was a sudden sense of calm. It didn't feel quite right. I heard that shriek of fear again. I looked around. In the dim moonlight, I couldn't make out much. I was scared. I decided to go over to the neighbor's house. I'm sure I saw the fire! I knocked at the door. No one answered. I was beginning to get restless. That's when I noticed that the door was locked. I was about to look through the keyhole to make sure no one was inside. It was then that I heard a loud crash. It was as if the entire sky lit up. A sudden lightning had struck an airplane crashing it!

The above makes sense and doesn't make sense at the same time? This is all thanks to
Rory's Story Cubes!
Go through that link to know more about it.
In this scenario, I have taken some liberties of my own to fit the story better. The only rule I have tried to follow is to come up with the connection as soon as possible and to keep the connection between the dice rolls. The best part about the game is there is no right or wrong way to play it!
Now read the story again, this time with the images and the highlighted words to understand it better :)
