Each sentence was submitted separately and chosen by community vote before the next one could be written. Nobody knew how it would end.

Did the books know where they were going as they stood in line?
The array of lined-up stories, the letters they held within, must have become a compass for several people.
Knowing the people who held me deep in their hearts, they gladly threw themselves one by one into the box.
At the bottom of the box was a shipping label. The recipient was 'Lee Yong-hyun'. I needed books to eat.
I smiled faintly at the thought of tearing through book pages one by one like a goat and eating them.
And so I became a goat that lived by consuming the dreams of publishers.
Multilingual relay writing is being prepared.
