The rules are the same as 5 word story, but with one twist:
Instead of trying to be random, you have to try to make sense and keep it serious. As in basically, trying to write a completely normal story, except for the "five words per person". I'll start:
Melissa woke up from her...
-
herself in the mirror, and
-
sighed. "Another day of life."
[NOTE: I edited this only to change the comma to a full stop, as otherwise the next post doesn't flow on very well from it.]

She had become a beautiful
-
young girl over the last
-
to a lot of effort
-
and ate five grapes every
-
eat anything else and was
-
climb the Empire State Building.
-
The last few posts are clearly either not serious, or while serious in themself have been in response to posts that are not. Therefore, unfortunately they must be dropped. That kind of material is more suited for the other 5 word story topic.
Melissa woke up from her bad dream. She looked at herself in the mirror, and sighed. "Another day of life."
She had become a beautiful young girl over the last couple of weeks. She went to a lot of effort...
Remember: The idea is to write something completely serious, and the only unusual thing about it is the five words at a time per writer. If you want to be crazy, that's what the other Five Word Story is there for.

It's kind of hard to do it with the five word limit.
What, we just said she had the urge to climb the Empire State Building! lol
-
The posts in this thread have been brought to my attention.
Unfortunately, there isn't a clear line between serious and light-hearted, so I'm going to say this... if your continuation of the story doesn't sound realistic, it probably isn't serious.

Adam pretty much said it.

to take Yoga classes every

week, in order to help

the amount of stress in
-
her daily life. She felt
-
happy at these classes and
-
yet, sometimes she wondered if
-
there was another way to
-
improve her life. Little did
-
she know that the people
-
she saw there would soon
-
become her best friends and
-
people she meant were not
-
like others she previously knew.
-
She may never know whether
-
this was a good thing
-
or a bad thing. This
-
was the one thing she
-
absolutely hated. She sighed and
-
looked into the sky. "Why
-
am I looking into the
-
sky? Am I looking for
-
something? Hmmm... I'll just sit
-
down and think about everything
-
while I stare at clouds."

Then she got bored and
-
saw a cloud shaped like
