My friend Tai and I have written these with only writing the next sentence based off the last few words or phrase.  I'll put in bold what we saw when we had to write our sentences.  My sentences will be underlined and his will be italicized.

The other night, I had a dream.  It was a world full of kings and queens.

Young children always dreamed of becoming them, but they were only childish fantasies that never came true.

But it was dark, dark as the night.  We were the fire on the moonless sky.

"The prophecy our ancestors foretold is finally coming true," she whispered.  "It is time to destroy this land."

We weren't divided.  We were the same.  And we were free, but we all wore chains.

That's how they liked it anyway, the Overlords that is.  They put us in chains to assert their dominance.

We didn't see it, but we created a place between truth and overrated.

That's what they believed about this place, but they couldn't be more wrong.  We're going to show them what we're made of.

If I could just see it all, just like a fly on the wall would I be able to accept what I can't control?

We questioned ourselves everyday leading up to the attack.  We know we can't control what's happening, but we can try to take our life back.

Would I share what I saw, or just sit back and ignore like nothing ever happened, haven't seen you before.

"Something happened to make our ancestors prophicize this!" I shouted out at them pummeling my fists at their chest.

I'm on the run from a thief I let into my head.  I know I hold the key, so don't be scared when I turn and shout. . .

He later told me he was writing aong lyrics and not trying to follow the previous part at all.
