Folding Paper Game

Our first activity in Inspiration Week was to write a line each on a different piece of paper with prompts of what the line should be `about, for example “A mans name and his job.”. We then had to pass the piece of paper around and write another line on a different piece of paper. This is the narrative I ended up with.

His name is Barry, he is a bin man. Susan believes she is a fire truck. She is in fact a mental patient. The couple meet in a park because their dogs start fighting. They then drag them through the mud. “Do you want to take a ride on my horse?” And then a puddle of water appears on the floor, “Oh no! My waters broke.” They had 5 children and live in a forest.

The synopsis

Barry meets loony Susan one ordinary day of being a bin man and suddenly his whole life revolves around her and their bush babies. With Susan believing she’s a fire truck and Barry trying to support his newly found family and refugee wife who has just escaped from the mental home on his bin man wages what will happen when the millionaire Mindy comes into the picture?

Equilibrium = Barry picking up rubbish on a normal Monday morning when Susan drives up and beeps at him.

Disruption = Susan pretends to run Barry over which gives him the idea to ask her "Do you want to take a ride on my horse?" which she takes as a marriage proposal and gets pregnant.

New equilibrium = Barry is stuck with Susan and his five monkey children. Tom thinks he's an elephant and the other 4 believe they are mice.
