Welcome to a new challenge. Hopefully, this one is a bit different from any you have done before. Here are the rules:

1) I will post the ending of a story as a prequel to this entry.

2) All additional entries must be prequels to that story, and so on.

3) In the case of multiple entries, the first written prequel for an entry will be considered canon for the purposes of the story.

4) You may only post an entry once every 12 hours to give others a chance to steer the direction of the story.

5) You must do your best to maintain the plot points and tenor of the piece (no diverging a crime mystery into a zombie attack, for instance – unless it makes sense :).

6) The final story must begin (and the challenge end) with the phrase “Marion knew she was in trouble when Henry walked into her office.”

7) Label your titles with the [CBSC] tag.

And most importantly…have fun.
