Writing the Next Line.

Welcome to Writing the Next Line. This is not a new activity by any means so I can't take credit for it.

The Rules: In your comment you must continue the story so whoever is first to comment must continue from where I left off and the next person to comment must pick up from where the last comment left off and so on. Please keep each comment 1-2 lines but come back as often as you like. This post will be up for a couple of days so keep the story going. When I return I will put the whole thing together and post it. Should be fun! The story starts below:


I pushed the scraper against the wall trying to lift a corner of ugly brown flower wallpaper.
I applied more pressure to the handle."I swear this is never going to come off." 
"It will, you just have to use your muscles." Ryan laughed.
"Thanks for helping me but I don't need you giving me orders." I squinted, pointing the scraper at him.
Ryan shook his head smiling. "Can I try?"
"Sure. Let's see your muscles flex." I teased.
He took the scraper from my hand and pressed it into the wall. The edge of the blade scratched the surface of the paper. He grunted, pushing the small tool harder into the wall.
"I think I got some." He gritted through his teeth.
"Don't hurt yourself." I smiled.
"Uh oh." He stepped back as plaster crumbled to the floor. When the dust cleared a large hole formed.
"Uh oh is right." I looked over at him, his eyes wide in surprise.
"I'm sorry, Abby. I'll fix it." He scratched his head. 
I glanced back at the hole, squinting, because I couldn't believe my eyes. "Is that a small door?"

There you have it. Have fun and enjoy your weekend!
