Ok, the plan is to create a story by means of answers following on from each other. So before you post your answer, read through all existing answers in chronological order. Then for your own answer write a short paragraph slightly continuing the story.
Only two rules apply.
1) No person or object will be destroyed or magically transformed into anything or anyone else.
2) No-one's going to wake up and realise that anything that went before was a dream.
Basically everything that is said to have happened is a concrete part of this world we're creating and so you have to work with it. For this to work there needs to be a consistency and coherence linking all the contributions to the story together.
I'll be picking a best answer that not only helps shape the story in a really interesting way, but also gives subsequent answers something really useful to refer back to, or if it's later on in the story, brings together everything that came before really well. And obviously there'll be consideration for the best spelling, punctuation and grammar, and appropriate usage of very unusual words.
Have fun!
Now I'm going to start the story:
It was a warm day in July. Cordelia was walking her dog Ermintrude around the town of Grimsby. When all of a sudden a strangely dressed man came running around the corner and tripped over the dog leash. As he was getting up Cordelia thought she recognised him but could quite remember from where. He apologised for the intrusion and introduced himself.
