Quote:
The Jones held a luau one sunny afternoon in August, and invited everybody they could think of. Everybody seemed to have a good time, and there was hardly any food or drink left over after the party was done.
Except for the Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke. Somebody had brought a 12 pack with them, and at the end, only one can had been taken.
Now, none of the Jones drank Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke, so they asked if anybody else wanted it. Mr. Smith, a good friend of Mr. Jones, said his currently absent wife liked it, so he would be happy to take it with him.
When Mr. Smith came home, Mrs. Smith was less pleased than he thought she would be.
"You know my doctor told me I can't have caffeine now. How insensitive of you to bring this stuff home."
Oops. Mr. Smith apologized profusely for his blunder, and promised to take it to work with him the next morning.
"If I just leave it in the company fridge, it'll be gone by the end of the day, no sweat."
That was not exactly the case. By the end of the week, only one can was missing. The company policy stated that edibles couldn't be left in the fridge over the weekend, so Mr. Smith had to retrieve it. Instead of taking it home, he left it on someone's doorstep.

Whose doorstep did he leave it on? You get to decide the soda's next course. The rules are:
exclaim The story will end once all the cans of Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke are gone. 10 of the 12 cans are left.
exclaim Every time the soda switches ownership, one, and only one, can should be taken from the box.
exclaim You can't have more than two cans taken in one part of the story.
exclaim You can't write one part right after the other. Wait until somebody else contributes before writing something else.
exclaim There's no limit on how long a part can be, but try not to be either too brief or too wordy, all the same.
Any other questions? If not, let's write!
