The one word longest story ever.
 

You can only use one word. Copy and paste the above text and add your word in bold (just highlight your word and ctrl+B). Not to prevent people from just making a whole sentence by themselves, you can only post a new word after 5 people have posted after your first. So I post number one I can post at 7 or higher. P.S lets try to have some decent grammar :P

So let it begin. The next post will start it off.

Once......

upon.............

..........a.....

Once upon a time

Once upon a time there

Once upon a time there was

Once upon a time there was many

"many" is a plural pronoun, and "was" is a singular verb. Let's watch our grammar as Link suggested.

Once upon a time there were many

...or...

Once upon a time there was much

I'll change mine to
Once upon a time there were many
