Flow Chart Adventures

Over at Start a Story, there are a bunch of activities for those of us that like putting stories together with our friends. In Flow Chart Adventure, you download a flowchart that asks you to develop a story plot by answering a few simple questions. We did a few the other night and it was a lotta fun, so I thought I'd post them here before they get tossed into the human-sized pile of papers in my house that has amassed over the years. I'm not sure what I'll do with the pile when I move. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd probably post them all here.
