The Lonely Frog - a Rory's Story Cubes tale

I was doodling in Skitch the other day with my Wacom Bamboo drawing pad, and found myself sketching the 9 images below. They are arranged in a manner similar to my first prototype for Rory's Story Cubes which was based on a Rubik's Cube. For the fun of it, I decided to make up a story. You can read the result below.

Rorys Story Cubes

Once upon a time...there was a lonely frog. He didn't like being alone, but was alone nonetheless. One day he signed up as a lab frog for a space flight. "I'm bound to meet interesting frogs now" he thought. However, he soon learned that nobody wanted to talk to him. No one except the astronaut that he was travelling with. And he just talked and talked. He never asked the frog how HE was feeling. Distraught and depressed, the frog decided to make his escape. He put on his space helmet, and leapt from the rocket when no one was looking. It took him a long time to fall back to earth, and into the sea. It is here that he now spends much of his time, living on a sleepy little island in the middle of the pacific ocean. The End.


Now, what story can you make up, based on the nine images shown?
