Scavenger Hunt
(inspired by Mad Challenge - headlines collage)

Life is like a Scavenger Hunt. I go around collecting experiences, taking them home, dumping them out, seeing what I found. I put a little bit of everything in my bag: good, bad, silly, weird stuff no one else has any use for. I recycle the bits and pieces and try to make something new.
“Knock-knock” on a neighbor’s door. “Do you have any sad stories to spare? Some old memories you’re tired of dragging around? Disapointments you’d like to forget? Any slightly-used jokes? I don’t mind second-hand material. Got some characters getting on your nerves? Dump ‘em right here in my sack; I’ll find a way to use them. Tired of your old routine? I can help. Timing is everything.
I’ll haul anything away, no questions asked. I can make something out of almost nothing. My bag can hold more than you can imagine. What do I do with all this junk? Take it back to the party, see what the other players found. Mix it all up, make something new. What’s the prize? I don’t know. Don’t really care. I just like playing the game.
