RE: The Exquisite Corpse: A Weekly Story Nobody Fully Controls
The narrator of this story, a certain @ladyaryastark, saw that the experiment was getting out of hand. Sisyphus was no longer carrying a stone to the top of the mountain only to have it roll back down into the void, but rather a "wet, mossy grain," like river sediment, in his hands. Then he stopped to reflect: Can an absurd life cease to be absurd at a certain point? What is the point of bearing the "weight" of what happens in the world if not even the reflections written by @gor671, so insightful, will be read by the "masters of the world"? Do I become anxious about the present, or do I close my eyes and immerse myself in this narrative where @ronnie asks about the two years I spent in Hades? Does Ronnie not know that the underworld of before is now our world?
Ladyaryastark read what Sol had written, and she was furious to see that this "newcomer" was trying to read her thoughts, then she took control of her "exquisite corpse" and decided that we should return to the moment when Mr. Isbister was on the beach at Pentargen.

Great. I learned something new today, which is fantastic. I loved this "exquisite corpse" activity. We used to play it all the time in college—though not with narrative texts, but with poetry. Maybe we could try it that way.
You can always write a poem.
To me it feels the storyline was gone. It is unclear to me how many people were present. It feels as if not everyone read all the earlier parts or the translators (most likely) messed it up.
@ladyaryastark managed to pull the writing together, and to my surprise, I loved the final version. Haven't you read it? In fact, I thought it was a perfectly rounded piece where the ending aligned with the...
I read it hours ago, but somehow Ingot lost at the piece @ronnie wrote. I do not understand who says what.
Well, the idea is to include digressions too—you know, like in Cortázar's Hopscotch.
Thanks to everyone!
We look forward to seeing you at the second edition of this exquisite corpse.
