I don't know if anyone has ever suggested a game like this...I just thought it would be fun. Anyway, one person suggests a title for a story, and the next person to post suggests a possible plot/story for that title and gives a new title. I suppose it's a good idea for a creativity exercise
Something like this: "Falling from Grace" A young man meets a girl named Grace. They climb a large tower, and he falls off.
Mostly, just put a creative spin on whatever the person before posts. Like my example, it doesn't have to be a good story or anything...Just fun.
Okay...Here we go.

Finally, through some investigating, he discovers that the saboteure is this client with whom he is in love.
