“Everyone have a phone ready?” Nine people in the room pull out their phones and hold them up in the air. A large 80’ screen comes to life at the far end of the room.
Projected on the screen is the face of a complete stranger to everyone in the room. He is breathing heavily, sweating, and looks absolutely terrified. The sun is about to set on Nowhere Island.
“Ladies and gentlemen, meet Frank. Thirty-two years old. Widowed. Stock broker. No children.” Some groan with disappointment, while others are excited. “Will he survive the first night? Place your bets now.”

If you could take a whole month and tell us this story 100 words at a time, that would be awesome.
