Hint this.

Im not wholly sure how this works,
but Robert Smartwood wrote the first line of a story
and as part of this new "hint fiction" thang he asked people to write the next line.
I wrote one
and he picked mine as the "successor".

Now you can try to write the next line
and the one I like best I choose as the next line
and then they put it on their blog
and link back to here
inviting others to write the next line.

Here is the original post.

Here is the story so far:

The detectives wouldn’t believe he drank the entire bottle of Worcestershire sauce willingly no matter what we said.

We told them he was preparing for the end of the world, we told them it would be coming tomorrow.

Post the next line in the comments here
and Ill pick one in a few days.
