And this story shows exactly how very different twenty six minds inside a pub can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe following story comes in 26 separate parts (kind of like 26 pieces of flash fiction, but all linked in someway), and can be read in any order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor example you could read the story in the traditional way from start to finish (this is the way I wrote the story), but this is the boring way to read it (and I'd rather you didn't). The story is supposed to be like a jigsaw, with each person reading it in a completely different way to the next. The purpose of this is so that each reader will realise different plot points at different stages as some of the stories interconnect with others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHopefully this will mean that everyone's experience as they read the story will be different.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo make mixing up the story easier, I have chosen to write it in 26 parts. The reason for this is that if you use a pack of playing cards you can match each card with the below list until all parts have been read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1_The Up And Coming Writer\u003cbr\u003ePart 2_The Spirit Of Writing\u003cbr\u003ePart 3_Derick The Husband\u003cbr\u003ePart 4_Marge The Wife\u003cbr\u003ePart 5_Little Selma The Four Year Old Daughter\u003cbr\u003ePart 6_The Balding Man In the Gray Suit\u003cbr\u003ePart 7_The Filler Men_PETER\u003cbr\u003ePart 8_The Filler Men_PAUL\u003cbr\u003ePart 9_Fucked (well and truly)\u003cbr\u003ePart 10_Bob The Bastard \"Landlord of the Weeping Dragon\"\u003cbr\u003ePart 11_Gretta The Ice Queen \"Landlady of the Weeping Dragon\"\u003cbr\u003ePart 12_Hilda The Bitch \"Bargirl of the Weeping Dragon\"\u003cbr\u003ePart 13_Syrill The Fool\u003cbr\u003ePart 14_Billy's Story\u003cbr\u003ePart 15_The Heetman\u003cbr\u003ePart 16_The Kipper Feels The Heet\u003cbr\u003ePart 17_The Mighty Quinn Versus The Shameful Plug\u003cbr\u003ePart 18_The Shit Shock Horror Thing\u003cbr\u003ePart 19_Marge \"The Third Landlady of the Weeping Dragon\"\u003cbr\u003ePart 20_Archie The Superat\u003cbr\u003ePart 21_Thelma Stockfield \"The Songwriter And Guitarist\"\u003cbr\u003ePart 22_Morris Tinkleton \"The Singer And The Complete And Utter Cock\"\u003cbr\u003ePart 23_The Brown Man\u003cbr\u003ePart 24_The Ark Angels Ronald's Quest For Alcohol\u003cbr\u003ePart 25_The Ultimate Atheist\u003cbr\u003ePart26_You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere's some examples:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1_any black ace (or one)_The Spirit Of Writing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 2_ any red ace (or one)_The Up And Coming Writer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 23 _ any black Queen_ The Brown Man\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 24 _ any red Queen_The Ark Angels Ronald’s Quest For Alcohol\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 9_any red five_Fucked (well and truly)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 16_any black nine_The Kipper Feels The Heet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd so on and so forth...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyway that's all from me for now.
