How the game works: Each person adds a sentence to the story. Copy and paste the text of the story created thus far, and then add your sentence.
The twist: Each sentence must contain a mathematical term. The term doesn't have to be used in the mathematical sense, so let's get creative.
Let's begin:
Waldo was a young man with a very negative attitude.

Waldo was a young man with a very negative attitude. Every day his sorrow and woe continued to multiply, then something happened one morning in June.

Waldo sampled his first taste of roast robin, and as he adjusted his chair to the right angle for watching his bitchy neighbor's house burn from the flaming tree debris, he saw her parrot fly out a shattered window, screeching, "AWK! POLYGON! POLYGON! AWK!"

"Billy Jean is not my ..." while moonwalking the circumference of the camp.

As melancholy settled once again over Waldo like a heavy blanket, he resolved (like e.e. cummings and k.d. lang before) to refer to himself in the lower case: from now on he would write about himself with a simple "i". It also suited his mood that, if he squared his "i", the result was still less than zero.
After a while he decided to change his name to ∏ for no other reason than it rhymed with "i".

Later, he was found decimated, lying on the floor with a ruptured colon.
