Ascension Address
The children gathered around Granny as she sat in her rocking chair, smoking her pipe while waiting for the tiny voices to settle down into silence. She took one last puff and blew a smoke ring that drifted lazily up to the ceiling before it faded away. With a smile, she set down her pipe, then reached out and grabbed a well-worn book from the nearby shelf, its edges frayed from multiple readings and its pages yellowed from the ravages of Time. It smelled of leather, pulp, and decades of dust. The spine made an audible creaking noise as she opened the book and turned to the first page. In a quiet but clear voice, she began to read: "Once upon a time..."

Gameplay summary
Storytellers collaboratively write a story by first creating Fragments of the story using specific words chosen by the Storytellers themselves and a random word from a common list of words. The Fragments are then posted without the names of the authors, and are secretly scored by the Storytellers. The Storytellers receive Points from the Scoring for their Fragment, and the highest-scoring Fragment is added to The Story.
