2016 WRITE: Sudden stories: A set of pictures. A hook line. What happened here? Would it make a story?

Sudden stories: A set of pictures.  A hook line.  
What happened here?  Would it make a story?

A challenge for a writers group in virtual worlds.  Get together and exercise the writing parts of your brain.  Here is a half-written story.  

• Booland Redux - where the patient person recalled me from the night previously. "Thanks for wearing pants," she said.
• "Pants??" I whisper to myself ...
• Sorry, the scene is no longer there.

• Aloud, I say, "I normally wear pants. And I was wearing pants last night."
• She nods.  "Yes, you were.  That is why I thanked you."   
• I try to remember, but my head is bursting.  My memory of most of last night is fuzzy, but I don't remember who was not wearing pants.
• "They say a Bloody Mary is good for a hangover," she added helpfully.  I nod and wait as she fixes it.  
• I try to make conversation: "It was a  wild night, I guess."  
• "Not for me."

Breakfast here

Did I ride that bicycle? 

• It is for someone wearing pants.
• But I don't think I could have ridden any bicycle last night. 
• Not without leaving bruises.

Maybe there are clues here

• But I can't read them without my glasses.

• I don't remember this lady from last night.
• And she pays no attention to me.
• I might as well be "Mister Cellophane"

• Unattended children will be given espresso and a free kitten.
• Come to think of it, there was a cat around last night.  
• Not a kitten. A real cat.  But that's where kittens come from.

The radio was playing

How does the cat fit in?

• Oh yes.  She was lying at the feet of the guy who was not wearing pants.
• Until the big dog came by.
• I think it is starting to come together.  

Challenge to the reader-writer
