But the real truth is that Dudley left her cold. He bored her. âYou canât spell âDudleyâ without âDUDâ!â That was written in her diary in purple gel pen. Luckily that diary was double locked. UnluckilyâŚ

She took one from Caesarâs body, conveniently placed on the floor, then began to slash the watermelon under her blouse, performing the worldâs first âCaesarianâ. âBloodâ flowed out from her stomach. Turns out, this was the first instance of âSudokuâ as well. The audience clapped.

âRobots are taking our jobs and putting us out of a living wage. What are we to do, just stand there? I want my role back! Make me an actor again! We need more human representation!â The robot gave him a blank stare. âBeep boop.â âFine, youâre rightâŚâ

buried some booty there. And by "booty" I mean "pirate treasure" (like the Professor says). The cops toss dirt everywhere, turf landing onto the DJ, wreckin' her set. Then, Officer Parolski's shovel hits something solid. "Found it, boys," he drawls. "That sweet booty is ours."

âThe Little Air Fryerâ, âI Believe I Can Fryâ, and many other novels. All about air fryers! She dedicated her whole life to air fryers ever since the day of its invention, truly the best invention, since sliced bread! If you donât get it, well⌠Clearly you donât own an air fryer.

The man held out four fingers, and he asked me to count them. âWhy, there are four fingers!â I confidently replied. âThat is incorrect. I am holding five fingers.â A wave of electricity surged through me. âHow many fingers?â All part of the tortâ enhanced interrogation procedure.

One by one, the sailors stripped down to their skivvies and dove off the poop deck into the salty brine. The ocean water was shockingly cold, the plunge cleared most of the sailor's minds. In the sea, not atop it, they gained a newperspective entirely.

âThat was until the beavers, squirrels and badgers forged an alliance to drive out the gopher threat from this town, through the use of gorilla warfare!â The old man handed me his rifle. âListen here, son, you see any gophersâŚâ A gopher emerged from the bushes. âGopher it.â Bang.
What is Byline?
A multiplayer creative writing experience where a group of authors creates a story, one line at a time.
How does it work?
Loosely based on exquisite corpse, each author writes a line having only seen the line directly before theirs. Once complete, the creator titles the story and shares it with the group.
Who does the writing?
Public Stories
If you create a story (by clicking the new story button 
) and donât invite other authors, then it posts publicly to Byline and can be contributed to by any author on the platform.
Private Stories
If you invite individual people (by username, email, or phone number) and deselect Plus Others on Byline then your story becomes private and only those invited can contribute.
What if I see something offensive?
If you see something that doesn't live up to our standards report it by clicking the next to any line.
