The Last Line.
&
One line at a time.
~
A story written by strangers — each adding a single line. You get one.
Make it the one they keep.
One line moves the story. The rest become Dead Lines.
~
Whoever started the story directs what comes next. But the lines passed over don't just disappear.
Read the story. Then read the one that almost was.
~
Every chosen line sits beside the Dead Lines it beat — the versions that could have been. Sometimes the Dead Line is the better story.

Add the next line — maybe even the Last Line.

Line added.
It's the next line in your story now. Any other submissions for that line became Dead Lines.
One last thing — the title.
It stayed hidden while the story was written. Confirming reveals it and publishes the story to read.
