The Best Of Exquisite Corpse

From Wikipedia:  Exquisite corpse (also known as "exquisite cadaver" or "rotating corpse") is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled, the result being known as the exquisite corpse or cadavre exquis in French. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule or by being allowed to see the end of what the previous person contributed.

EXCERPT FROM THE BACK WOODS OF JOHNS HOPKINS (TWSS)
         
          Love is such a fragile thing, especially when it's short-lived. They stood in the dark void.
          "I just ate a bug," she said. The tree was tall. They wanted to cut it down.
           He was on his knees, trying to escape the wrath. "I dig these chickens. Can I kiss you, Ms. Bonnie Sparkle-toes?" he asked.
          "Did you know that we have secretly been watching you?"
          "All's well that falls in a boiling pot of water, as I always say." 
          "Learn to use it well," is what I've heard.
          The world was dying. The cops were on the way.
          "Oh, dear," he said. "What did I start?" 
          "Gives you a lot to think about," she said.
