November is NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month.
"NaNoWriMo believes in the transformational power of creativity. We provide the structure, community, and encouragement to help people find their voices, achieve creative goals, and build new worlds—on and off the page."
It is a support and encouragement for people hoping to write a novel, but we thought it would be great if we could all work together to write our own Scope Online Community novel this month by writing one sentence each, following on from the sentence before.
Let's see what we can do! I will start:
It was the beginning of November, the clocks had gone back and the days were shorter, leaves were falling from the trees and it was time to get out the winter coats, scarves and gloves.

This is a great idea @Sam_Scope
The nights of fires, candles and heat are here. It is no longer summer that is for sure! I have a portable heater which we use for additional heat as well as lighting our fire each night for warmth too. -
great idea.....
We decided to take the children to a bonfire for November 5th........
-
because it would be the perfect cover for the secret meeting that needed to take place.

He was injured by fireworks and went to hospital

But once at the hospital, the doctors found that his injury wasn't by firework, but by a gun shot!

Which was quite annoying for him last time as he was only going out for a pint.
He liked semi skimmed or full fat with his breakfast in the morning.
With his power breakfast. Super crunchy cereal flakes.
He is addicted to these and these did at one time gave him extra powers to kill people.

No's 2 and 6 while listening to their records, both exclaimed, "this is far better than watching Eastenders!" "Didn't someone get shot there too lately?" "Let's go and find No's 1 and 3 to see what they are up to. Can't stand the suspense any longer!"Winner of the Scope New Volunteer Award 2019.

1 and 3, sitting in the local pub drinking brandy for shock, were so thankful to see 2 and 6 walk in apparently unharmed but strangely, carrying vinyl records?
-
2, having morphed back into himself after posing as Gina at the hospital, and deflecting the bullet by employing the forces of evil...
-
jumped at 1 and 3, shouting...`Boo!`
-
"You idiots!" Said 1. "Where is the box now?"
-
"Before we dicuss the whereabouts of the box, double brandy please" said 2, "morphing, employing the forces of evil and shouting Boo! is exhausting"
-
1 demanded everyone look for the box.....it had a sinister smile on it`s face...yes, it had developed human features....
-
...and it was still at the hospital
-
but it was already thinking about it`s next move.....
-
An unconscious 4 is the only one who can thwart the evil...
-
.......before it takes over the hospital.
-
4 has been placed in a private room at the hospital, still unconscious, the police at his bedside, eagerly waiting to take his statement...
-
One of the policemen, a DI Clod, announces he is, in no uncertain terms, absolutely gasping and heads off for a cup of tea. He returns to 4's bedside with a pot, some UHT milk and a cup. To his fellow policeman's absolute horror, Clod proceeds to pour the milk in first. The ensuing brawl leaves both policemen in intensive care and 4 all by himself.

"he can add it to his apprentice's ingredients for spells"

.....4 was acutely aware that they were gathering to kill him...
-
he thought if he donned a black cape and mingled in the crowd, he wouldn't be spotted....
-
...and so it was as he slipped out of the room to find 5 and the box...
-
but as he stepped out, he caught the cape on a nail and fell....

...at the feet of The Master, the box, as he had now become...

`exterminate, exterminate` it growled
