Here is a new game, with each participant adding one  sentence line to create a fun tale and at the same time leave some suspense for the next contestant.

I will start  with:

Last evening at five...

There came a strong rap at my door.

I hesitated answering the door because of the loud rap

I hesitated, but then, drew back the side curtain and peeked out.

I saw a tall man, wearing a green cape, and he was carrying something?

But then he turned around and left - empty handed.

So what was he carrying? I began to search for some kind of clue and there, right by the bush I saw something that was not there before. It looked like a...

...large tin can painted green and bearing some kind of sticker!

It did not come from the can, and there was nothing visible on the grass!!!

I raised my head and peered into the nearest tree.

Oh!  a muted swish , a long hiss , a shimmer, a flash!
Hovering atop a thick branch burning eyes are peering

off into the distance!  What is it?  And what is it looking at? And why does it sound so human?

Suddenly, back at the house ..... I heard the telephone ringing. I ran to answer the call, and in my haste, I didn't close the front door.

And when I turned to look there was a definite glow outside the door

And suddenly, there was that LOUD knocking again.  I trembled as I grabbed my son's baseball bat and waited, saying nothing.

I waited, shaking in my shoes before seeing a shadow pass by my window pane.

It stopped there, on the spot, framed by the window. I THOUGHT MY HEART WOULD STOP BEATING. Then, it grew taller and taller, with these burning eyes aligned with the top pane, taking in the room, from left to right and then center on me. 
It?  He?  what?

just for fun...

My heart was doing flip-flops!  My bones rattled with the shaking and my knees wouldn't stop wobbling!  My mind said run but my feet were glued to the floor.  I gripped the baseball bat tighter!  Suddenly....

This story is tantalizing... and I was waiting for some feedback to see which way to continue!
I'll add some and please help it go along...

Story Line

There came a strong rap at my door.
I hesitated answering the door because of the loud rap
I hesitated, but then, drew back the side curtain and peeked out.
I saw a tall man, wearing a green cape, and he was carrying something?
But then he turned around and left - empty handed.

So what was he carrying? I began to search for some kind of clue and there, right by the bush I saw something that was not there before. It looked like a large tin can painted green and bearing some kind of sticker!
Cautiously I got nearer when suddenly I heard a long pained groan coming from the grass.
It did not come from the can, and there was nothing visible on the grass!!!  I raised my head and peered into the nearest tree.

Oh!  a muted swish , a long hiss , a shimmer, a flash! Hovering atop a thick branch burning eyes are peering off into the distance!  What is it?  And what is it looking at? And why does it sound so human?

Suddenly, back at the house.....I heard the telephone ringing. I ran to answer the call, and in my haste, I didn't close the front door. And when I turned to look there was a definite glow outside the door. I quickly backed up at seeing that glow, tripped over my feet, fell on my bottom and moved backward so I could slam the door!

And suddenly, there was that LOUD knocking again.  I trembled as I grabbed my son's baseball bat and waited, saying nothing. I waited, shaking in my shoes before seeing a shadow pass by my window pane.
It stopped there, on the spot, framed by the window. I THOUGHT MY HEART WOULD STOP BEATING. Then, it grew taller and taller, with these burning eyes aligned with the top pane, taking in the room, from left to right and then center on me. 

It?  He?  what? My heart was doing flip-flops!  My bones rattled with the shaking and my knees wouldn't stop wobbling!  My mind said run but my feet were glued to the floor.  I gripped the baseball bat tighter!

Suddenly....  a blinding flash of light filled the deepening darkness and a canopy of groans, grunts and moans filled my small backyard.

I ran to the front door:  I realized suddenly that the loud knock must have been the newspaper delivery boy.
Right! Splashed on the front page, in bold lettering: "Sentient missing from Hush-Hush Lab - not dangerous and very attractive!"

I let go of the baseball bat and hurried back to the the window overlooking the backyard.  There, sitting on the grass was a youthful Apollo seeming   dazed and disoriented.  His mouth stretched into a  huge smile when he noticed me watching. 

-  "You look good; I am going to have you for supper" he said in a warm modulated bass.

-  "You cannot eat people just like that"  I riposted angrily, while the words 'not dangerous' coursed through my mind.

He rose his fist into my direction, opening and closing slender fingers three times.

-  "What are you doing?"

-  "Oh, just cloning you for supper.  I would not hurt the real you, surely you know that . This way I'll get to know you better, intimately one could say..."

How did I feel about watching someone (or something) eat a clone of me?  I just didn't know!  The more I thought about it the more I was afraid I couldn't watch that.  Then it occurred to me!  I eat chocolate animals all the time and I also eat chocolate Santas.  Perhaps that's what it felt like to him...it?  I still felt a bit squeamish about watching.  Did I have a choice?

And what was that loud distracting ringing in my ears?
