1.

He was aware there were numerous wonders of this world including the unexplained
creations of humankind that showed the wonder of our ingenuity. There are huge
heads on Easter Island. There are the Egyptian pyramids. There�s Stonehenge. But he
now stood in front of a newly discovered monument that simply didn't make any sense
and he wondered how he was ever going to be able to explain it.

2. Her hair was a tangled mess which she tried to make presentable by putting in a
lump on the top of her head. It didn't really work although it was a valiant
attempt. While most people simply noticed the tangled mess on top of her head, what
most people failed to understand that within the tangles mess was an entirely new
year. That was her secret. She kept worlds on top of her head.

3. Why do Americans have so many different types of towels? We have beach towels,
hand towels, bath towels, dish towels, camping towels, quick-dry towels, and let�s
not forget paper towels. Would 1 type of towel work for each of these things? Let�s
take a beach towel. It can be used to dry your hands and body with no difficulty. A
beach towel could be used to dry dishes. Just think how many dishes you could dry
with one beach towel. I�ve used a beach towel with no adverse effects while
camping. If you buy a thin beach towel it can dry quickly too. I�d probably cut up
a beach towel to wipe down counters or for cleaning other items, but a full beach
towel could be used too. Is having so many types of towels an extravagant luxury
that Americans enjoy or is it necessary? I�d say it's overkill and we could cut
down on the many types of towels that manufacturers deem necessary.

4. There was a time when he would have embraced the change that was coming. In his
youth, he sought adventure and the unknown, but that had been years ago. He wished
he could go back and learn to find the excitement that came with change but it was
useless. That curiosity had long left him to where he had come to loathe anything
that put him out of his comfort zone.

5. Twenty-five hours had passed since the incident. It seemed to be a lot longer
than that. That twenty-five hours seemed more like a week in her mind. The fact
that she still was having trouble comprehending exactly what took place wasn't
helping the matter. She thought if she could just get a little rest the entire
incident might make a little more sense.

6. Sometimes that's just the way it has to be. Sure, there were probably other
options, but he didn't let them enter his mind. It was done and that was that. It
was just the way it had to be.

7. It was that terrifying feeling you have as you tightly hold the covers over you
with the knowledge that there is something hiding under your bed. You want to look,
but you don't at the same time. You're frozen with fear and unable to act. That's
where she found herself and she didn't know what to do next

8. She never liked cleaning the sink. It was beyond her comprehension how it got so
dirty so quickly. It seemed that she was forced to clean it every other day. Even
when she was extra careful to keep things clean and orderly, it still ended up
looking like a mess in a couple of days. What she didn't know was there was a tiny
creature living in it that didn't like things neat.

9. Greg understood that this situation would make Michael terribly uncomfortable.
Michael simply had no idea what was about to come and even though Greg could
prevent it from happening, he opted to let it happen. It was quite ironic, really.
It was something Greg had said he would never wish upon anyone a million times, yet
here he was knowingly letting it happen to one of his best friends. He rationalized
that it would ultimately make Michael a better person and that no matter how
uncomfortable, everyone should experience racism at least once in their lifetime.
10. Peter always saw the world in black and white. There were two choices for every
situation and you had to choose one of them. It was therefore terribly
uncomfortable for him to spend time with Ashley. She saw the world in shades of
gray with hundreds of choices to choose from in every situation.

11. There was no time. He ran out of the door without half the stuff he needed for
work, but it didn't matter. He was late and if he didn't make this meeting on time,
someone's life may be in danger.

12. Do you really listen when you are talking with someone? I have a friend who
listens in an unforgiving way. She actually takes every word you say as being
something important and when you have a friend that listens like that, words take
on a whole new meaning.

13. Hopes and dreams were dashed that day. It should have been expected, but it
still came as a shock. The warning signs had been ignored in favor of the
possibility, however remote, that it could actually happen. That possibility had
grown from hope to an undeniable belief it must be destiny. That was until it
wasn't and the hopes and dreams came crashing down.

14. Eating raw fish didn't sound like a good idea. "It's a delicacy in Japan,"
didn't seem to make it any more appetizing. Raw fish is raw fish, delicacy or not.

15. There was something in the sky. What exactly was up there wasn't immediately
clear. But there was definitely something in the sky and it was getting bigger and
bigger.

16. I'm meant to be writing at this moment. What I mean is, I'm meant to be writing
something else at this moment. The document I'm meant to be writing is, of course,
open in another program on my computer and is patiently awaiting my attention. Yet
here I am plonking down senseless sentiments in this paragraph because it's easier
to do than to work on anything particularly meaningful. I am grateful for the
distraction.

17. Don't be scared. The things out there that are unknown aren't scary in
themselves. They are just unknown at the moment. Take the time to know them before
you list them as scary. Then the world will be a much less scary place for you.

18. Ten more steps. If he could take ten more steps it would be over, but his legs
wouldn't move. He tried to will them to work, but they wouldn't listen to his
brain. Ten more steps and it would be over but it didn't appear he would be able to
do it.

19. It was a question of which of the two she preferred. On the one hand, the
choice seemed simple. The more expensive one with a brand name would be the choice
of most. It was the easy choice. The safe choice. But she wasn't sure she actually
preferred it.

20. Welcome to my world. You will be greeted by the unexpected here and your mind
will be challenged and expanded in ways that you never thought possible. That is if
you are able to survive...

21. Dave found joy in the daily routine of life. He awoke at the same time, ate the
same breakfast and drove the same commute. He worked at a job that never seemed to
change and he got home at 6 pm sharp every night. It was who he had been for the
last ten years and he had no idea that was all about to change.

22. The box sat on the desk next to the computer. It had arrived earlier in the day
and business had interrupted her opening it earlier. She didn't who had sent it and
briefly wondered who it might have been. As she began to unwrap it, she had no idea
that opening it would completely change her life.

23. Debbie knew she was being selfish and unreasonable. She understood why the
others in the room were angry and frustrated with her and the way she was acting.
In her eyes, it didn't really matter how they felt because she simply didn't care.

24. I recollect that my first exploit in squirrel-shooting was in a grove of tall

walnut-trees that shades one side of the valley. I had wandered into it at
noontime, when all nature is peculiarly quiet, and was startled by the roar of my
own gun, as it broke the Sabbath stillness around and was prolonged and
reverberated by the angry echoes.

25. The computer wouldn't start. She banged on the side and tried again. Nothing.
She lifted it up and dropped it to the table. Still nothing. She banged her closed
fist against the top. It was at this moment she saw the irony of trying to fix the
machine with violence.

26. Love isn't always a ray of sunshine. That's what the older girls kept telling
her when she said she had found the perfect man. She had thought this was simply
bitter talk on their part since they had been unable to find true love like hers.
But now she had to face the fact that they may have been right. Love may not always
be a ray of sunshine. That is unless they were referring to how the sun can burn.

27. The wave roared towards them with speed and violence they had not anticipated.
They both turned to run but by that time it was too late. The wave crashed into
their legs sweeping both of them off of their feet. They now found themselves in a
washing machine of saltwater, getting tumbled and not know what was up or down.
Both were scared, not knowing how this was going to end, but it was by far the best
time of the trip thus far.

28. Dave wasn't exactly sure how he had ended up in this predicament. He ran
through all the events that had lead to this current situation and it still didn't
make sense. He wanted to spend some time to try and make sense of it all, but he
had higher priorities at the moment. The first was how to get out of his current
situation of being naked in a tree with snow falling all around and no way for him
to get down.

29. She tried not to judge him. His ratty clothes and unkempt hair made him look
homeless. Was he really the next Einstein as she had been told? On the off chance
it was true, she continued to try not to judge him.

30. My pincher collar is snapped on. Then comes the electric zapper collar.
Finally, my purple at-home collar is taken off and I know I�m going for a walk to
the dog park. I�m so excited to see my friends. I hope Spike or Thunder are there
already. They're the most fun to chase and tumble with. My human is pretty strict
with me. I�m only allowed on the grass and not on the sidewalks. I think she�s
afraid I�m going to jump on the other humans. I don�t understand why everyone else
gets to jump on the benches and run wild on the sidewalks. They don�t listen to
their humans. I know I could ignore mine but if I do she may zap me and it�s just
not worth it. She probably wouldn�t let me back at the dog park if I didn�t listen
to her. I just love the dog park.

31. It seemed like it should have been so simple. There was nothing inherently
difficult with getting the project done. It was simple and straightforward enough
that even a child should have been able to complete it on time, but that wasn't the
case. The deadline had arrived and the project remained unfinished.

32. I'm heading back to Colorado tomorrow after being down in Santa Barbara over
the weekend for the festival there. I will be making October plans once there and
will try to arrange so I'm back here for the birthday if possible. I'll let you
know as soon as I know the doctor's appointment schedule and my flight plans.

33. Trees. It was something about the trees. The way they swayed with the wind in
unison. The way they shaded the area around them. The sounds of their leaves in the
wind and the creaks from the branches as they sway, The trees were making a
statement that I just couldn't understand.

34. What if dogs were racist? Would they care about fur color�.. �son, only play
with other tan dogs�? Or maybe it would depend on breed, �honey, only play with
other German Shepards, never poodles�. Better yet it could depend on occupation.
�I�m a sled dog while you�re only a running companion, leave me alone�. Maybe the
neighborhood they live in could be the way they choose which dogs to associate with
and which to shun? Size could be the determining factor, �see how tall that dog is,
they are probably dumb�. Luckily dogs don�t discriminate. Just watch at a dog park.
Big black and white dogs wag their tails and play with tiny tan dogs. A service dog
chases after the same ball as the off-duty police dog. So if dogs don�t
discriminate then why do we?

35. Debbie put her hand into the hole, sliding her hand down as far as her arm
could reach. She wiggled her fingers hoping to touch something, but all she felt
was air. She shifted the weight of her body to try and reach an inch or two more
down the hole. Her fingers still touched nothing but air.

36. A long black shadow slid across the pavement near their feet and the five
Venusians, very much startled, looked overhead. They were barely in time to see the
huge gray form of the carnivore before it vanished behind a sign atop a nearby
building which bore the mystifying information "Pepsi-Cola."

37. There was a time and a place for Stephanie to use her magic. The problem was
that she had a difficult time determining this. She wished she could simply use it
when the desire hit and there wouldn't be any unforeseen consequences.
Unfortunately, that's not how it worked and the consequences could be devastating
if she accidentally used her magic at the wrong time.

38. "Are you getting my texts???" she texted to him. He glanced at it and chuckled
under his breath. Of course he was getting them, but if he wasn't getting them, how
would he ever be able to answer? He put the phone down and continued on his
project. He was ignoring her texts and he planned to continue to do so.

39. It's an unfortunate reality that we don't teach people how to make money
(beyond getting a 9 to 5 job) as part of our education system. The truth is there
are a lot of different, legitimate ways to make money. That doesn't mean they are
easy and that you won't have to work hard to succeed, but it does mean that if
you're willing to open your mind a bit you don't have to be stuck in an office from
9 to 5 for the next fifty years o your life.

40. He dropped the ball. While most people would think that this was a metaphor of
some type, in Joe's case it was absolutely literal. He had hopes of reaching the
Major League and that dream was now it great jeopardy. All because he had dropped
the ball.

41. I inadvertently went to See's Candy last week (I was in the mall looking for
phone repair), and as it turns out, See's Candy now charges a dollar -- a full
dollar -- for even the simplest of their wee confection offerings. I bought two
chocolate lollipops and two chocolate-caramel-almond things. The total cost was
four-something. I mean, the candies were tasty and all, but let's be real: A
Snickers bar is fifty cents. After this dollar-per-candy revelation, I may not find
myself wandering dreamily back into a See's Candy any time soon.

42. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense. The man walking down the street in a
banana suit. The llama standing in the middle of the road. The fairies dancing in
front of the car window. The fact that all of this was actually happening and
wasn't a dream.

43. Indescribable oppression, which seemed to generate in some unfamiliar part of

her consciousness, filled her whole being with a vague anguish. It was like a
shadow, like a mist passing across her soul's summer day. It was strange and
unfamiliar; it was a mood. She did not sit there inwardly upbraiding her husband,
lamenting at Fate, which had directed her footsteps to the path which they had
taken. She was just having a good cry all to herself. The mosquitoes made merry
over her, biting her firm, round arms and nipping at her bare insteps.

44. Sometimes it's just better not to be seen. That's how Harry had always lived
his life. He prided himself as being the fly on the wall and the fae that blended
into the crowd. That's why he was so shocked that she noticed him.

45. It was a rat's nest. Not a literal one, but that is what her hair seemed to
resemble every morning when she got up. It was going to take at least an hour to
get it under control and she was sick and tired of it. She peered into the mirror
and wondered if it was worth it. It wasn't. She opened the drawer and picked up the
hair clippers.

46. Housework could be everyone�s work, not just �women�s work�. Why do women
enable men to act oblivious to cleaning, grocery shopping, pet feeding, etc?
Somehow when men live alone they figure out how to do all of those things all on
their own. My friend�s husband claimed he didn�t know that sheets should be washed
more than once a season. He said he didn�t know one had to clean toilets. He
assumed that since you flush toilets they clean themselves. She tried to get him to
help but he did an awful job so she let him off the hook. Wouldn�t it be better if
she spent the time and energy to get him to do it right instead of letting him
claim he is �just bad at it�. My sons were raised to clean toilets and change their
own sheets. Hopefully, in their future homes, the housework will be equally
divided.

47. There was only half a worm in the apple. At first, Judy didn't quite comprehend
what this meant. "Why would only half a worm be living in an apple?" she wondered.
And then it dawned on her. Judy quickly spit out the bite she had just taken
expecting to see the other half of the worm. It ended up being much worse than
that.

48. "Explain to me again why I shouldn't cheat?" he asked. "All the others do and
nobody ever gets punished for doing so. I should go about being happy losing to
cheaters because I know that I don't? That's what you're telling me?"

49. Then came the night of the first falling star. It was seen early in the
morning, rushing over Winchester eastward, a line of flame high in the atmosphere.
Hundreds must have seen it and taken it for an ordinary falling star. It seemed
that it fell to earth about one hundred miles east of him.

50. She nervously peered over the edge. She understood in her mind that the view
was supposed to be beautiful, but all she felt was fear. There had always been
something about heights that disturbed her, and now she could feel the full force
of this unease. She reluctantly crept a little closer with the encouragement of her
friends as the fear continued to build. She couldn't help but feel that something
horrible was about to happen.
51. It was easy to spot her. All you needed to do was look at her socks. They were
never a matching pair. One would be green while the other would be blue. One would
reach her knee while the other barely touched her ankle. Every other part of her
was perfect, but never the socks. They were her micro act of rebellion.

52. Pink ponies and purple giraffes roamed the field. Cotton candy grew from the
ground as a chocolate river meandered off to the side. What looked like stones in
the pasture were actually rock candy. Everything in her dream seemed to be perfect
except for the fact that she had no mouth.

53. The lone lamp post of the one-street town flickered, not quite dead but
definitely on its way out. Suitcase by her side, she paid no heed to the light, the
street or the town. A car was coming down the street and with her arm outstretched
and thumb in the air, she had a plan.

54. It was a simple tip of the hat. Grace didn't think that anyone else besides her
had even noticed it. It wasn't anything that the average person would notice, let
alone remember at the end of the day. That's why it seemed so unbelievable that
this little gesture would ultimately change the course of the world.

55. Ten more steps. If he could take ten more steps it would be over, but his legs
wouldn't move. He tried to will them to work, but they wouldn't listen to his
brain. Ten more steps and it would be over but it didn't appear he would be able to
do it.

56. She had been an angel for coming up on 10 years and in all that time nobody had
told her this was possible. The fact that it could ever happen never even entered
her mind. Yet there she stood, with the undeniable evidence sitting on the ground
before her. Angels could lose their wings.

57. Although Scott said it didn't matter to him, he knew deep inside that it did.
They had been friends as long as he could remember and not once had he had to
protest that something Joe apologized for doing didn't really matter. Scott stuck
to his lie and insisted again and again that everything was fine as Joe continued
to apologize. Scott already knew that despite his words accepting the apologies
that their friendship would never be the same.

58. My pincher collar is snapped on. Then comes the electric zapper collar.
Finally, my purple at-home collar is taken off and I know I�m going for a walk to
the dog park. I�m so excited to see my friends. I hope Spike or Thunder are there
already. They're the most fun to chase and tumble with. My human is pretty strict
with me. I�m only allowed on the grass and not on the sidewalks. I think she�s
afraid I�m going to jump on the other humans. I don�t understand why everyone else
gets to jump on the benches and run wild on the sidewalks. They don�t listen to
their humans. I know I could ignore mine but if I do she may zap me and it�s just
not worth it. She probably wouldn�t let me back at the dog park if I didn�t listen
to her. I just love the dog park.

59. Trees. It was something about the trees. The way they swayed with the wind in
unison. The way they shaded the area around them. The sounds of their leaves in the
wind and the creaks from the branches as they sway, The trees were making a
statement that I just couldn't understand.

60. The young man wanted a role model. He looked long and hard in his youth, but
that role model never materialized. His only choice was to embrace all the people
in his life he didn't want to be like.

61. Love isn't always a ray of sunshine. That's what the older girls kept telling
her when she said she had found the perfect man. She had thought this was simply
bitter talk on their part since they had been unable to find true love like hers.
But now she had to face the fact that they may have been right. Love may not always
be a ray of sunshine. That is unless they were referring to how the sun can burn.

62. He sat staring at the person in the train stopped at the station going in the
opposite direction. She sat staring ahead, never noticing that she was being
watched. Both trains began to move and he knew that in another timeline or in
another universe, they had been happy together.

63. "I'll talk to you tomorrow in more detail at our meeting, but I think I've
found a solution to our problem. It's not exactly legal, but it won't land us in
jail for the rest of our lives either. Are you willing to take the chance?" Monroe
asked his partner over the phone.

64. It was going to rain. The weather forecast didn't say that, but the steel plate
in his hip did. He had learned over the years to trust his hip over the weatherman.
It was going to rain, so he better get outside and prepare.

65. I checked in for the night at Out O The Way motel. What a bad choice that was.
First I took a shower and a spider crawled out of the drain. Next, the towel rack
fell down when I reached for the one small bath towel. This allowed the towel to
fall halfway into the toilet. I tried to watch a movie, but the remote control was
sticky and wouldn�t stop scrolling through the channels. I gave up for the night
and crawled into bed. I stretched out my leg and felt something furry by my foot.
Filled with fear, I reached down and to my surprise, I pulled out a raccoon skin
pair of underwear. After my initial relief that it wasn�t alive, the image of a
fat, ugly businessman wearing raccoon skin briefs filled my brain. I jumped out of
the bed, threw my toothbrush into my bag, and sprinted towards my car.

66. Do you really listen when you are talking with someone? I have a friend who
listens in an unforgiving way. She actually takes every word you say as being
something important and when you have a friend that listens like that, words take
on a whole new meaning.

67. The boy walked down the street in a carefree way, playing without notice of
what was about him. He didn't hear the sound of the car as his ball careened into
the road. He took a step toward it, and in doing so sealed his fate.

68. Colors bounced around in her head. They mixed and threaded themselves together.
Even colors that had no business being together. They were all one, yet distinctly
separate at the same time. How was she going to explain this to the others?

69. The day had begun on a bright note. The sun finally peeked through the rain for
the first time in a week, and the birds were sinf=ging in its warmth. There was no
way to anticipate what was about to happen. It was a worst-case scenario and there
was no way out of it.

70. It seemed like it should have been so simple. There was nothing inherently
difficult with getting the project done. It was simple and straightforward enough
that even a child should have been able to complete it on time, but that wasn't the
case. The deadline had arrived and the project remained unfinished.

71. A long black shadow slid across the pavement near their feet and the five
Venusians, very much startled, looked overhead. They were barely in time to see the
huge gray form of the carnivore before it vanished behind a sign atop a nearby
building which bore the mystifying information "Pepsi-Cola."

72. The light was out on the front porch of the house. This was strange. Judy
couldn't remember a time when she had ever seen it out. She hopped out of her car
and walked to the door. It was slightly ajar and she knew this meant something
terrible. She gently pushed the door open and hall her fears were realized.
"Surprise! Happy Birthday!" everyone shouted.

73. It was a concerning development that he couldn't get out of his mind. He'd had
many friends throughout his early years and had fond memories of playing with them,
but he couldn't understand how it had all stopped. There was some point as he grew
up that he played with each of his friends for the very last time, and he had no
idea that it would be the last.

74. She had a terrible habit o comparing her life to others. She realized that
their life experiences were completely different than her own and that she saw only
what they wanted her to see, but that didn't matter. She still compared herself and
yearned for what she thought they had and she didn't.

75. She closed her eyes and then opened them again. What she was seeing just didn't
make sense. She shook her head seeing if that would help. It didn't. Although it
seemed beyond reality, there was no denying she was witnessing a large formation of
alien spaceships filling the sky.

76. I recollect that my first exploit in squirrel-shooting was in a grove of tall

walnut-trees that shades one side of the valley. I had wandered into it at
noontime, when all nature is peculiarly quiet, and was startled by the roar of my
own gun, as it broke the Sabbath stillness around and was prolonged and
reverberated by the angry echoes.

77. It's not his fault. I know you're going to want to, but you can't blame him. He
really has no idea how it happened. I kept trying to come up with excuses I could
say to mom that would keep her calm when she found out what happened, but the more
I tried, the more I could see none of them would work. He was going to get her
wrath and there was nothing I could say to prevent it.

78. Then came the night of the first falling star. It was seen early in the
morning, rushing over Winchester eastward, a line of flame high in the atmosphere.
Hundreds must have seen it and taken it for an ordinary falling star. It seemed
that it fell to earth about one hundred miles east of him.

79. Since they are still preserved in the rocks for us to see, they must have been
formed quite recently, that is, geologically speaking. What can explain these
striations and their common orientation? Did you ever hear about the Great Ice Age
or the Pleistocene Epoch? Less than one million years ago, in fact, some 12,000
years ago, an ice sheet many thousands of feet thick rode over Burke Mountain in a
southeastward direction. The many boulders frozen to the underside of the ice sheet
tended to scratch the rocks over which they rode. The scratches or striations seen
in the park rocks were caused by these attached boulders. The ice sheet also
plucked and rounded Burke Mountain into the shape it possesses today.

80. It was just a burger. Why couldn't she understand that? She knew he'd
completely changed his life around her eating habits, so why couldn't she give him
a break this one time? She wasn't even supposed to have found out. Yes, he had
promised her and yes, he had broken that promise, but still in his mind, all it had
been was just a burger.

81. It was a weird concept. Why would I really need to generate a random paragraph?
Could I actually learn something from doing so? All these questions were running
through her head as she pressed the generate button. To her surprise, she found
what she least expected to see.

82. There was something in the sky. What exactly was up there wasn't immediately
clear. But there was definitely something in the sky and it was getting bigger and
bigger.

83. The chair sat in the corner where it had been for over 25 years. The only
difference was there was someone actually sitting in it. How long had it been since
someone had done that? Ten years or more he imagined. Yet there was no denying the
presence in the chair now.

84. What have you noticed today? I noticed that if you outline the eyes, nose, and
mouth on your face with your finger, you make an "I" which makes perfect sense, but
is something I never noticed before. What have you noticed today?

85. There was something beautiful in his hate. It wasn't the hate itself as it was
a disgusting display of racism and intolerance. It was what propelled the hate and
the fact that although he had this hate, he didn't understand where it came from.
It was at that moment that she realized that there was hope in changing him.

86. He read about a hike called the incline in the guidebook. It said it was a
strenuous hike and to bring plenty of water. �A beautiful hike to the clouds�
described one review. �Not for the faint-hearted,� said another. �Not too bad of a
workout�, bragged a third review. I thought I�d hike it when I fly in from Maryland
on my day off from the senior citizen's wellness conference. I hiked 2 miles a day
around the neighborhood so I could handle a 1.1-mile hike. What a foolish mistake
that was for a 70-year-old low-lander.

87. There was a reason for her shyness. Everyone assumed it had always been there
but she knew better. She knew the exact moment that the shyness began. It had been
that fateful moment at the lake. There are just some events that do that to you.

88. The red line moved across the page. With each millimeter it advanced forward,
something changed in the room. The actual change taking place was difficult to
perceive, but the change was real. The red line continued relentlessly across the
page and the room would never be the same.

89. She didn't understand how changed worked. When she looked at today compared to
yesterday, there was nothing that she could see that was different. Yet, when she
looked at today compared to last year, she couldn't see how anything was ever the
same.

90. Finding the truth wouldn't be easy, that's for sure. Then there was the
question of whether or not Jane really wanted to know the truth. That's the thing
that bothered her most. It wasn't the difficulty of actually finding out what
happened that was the obstacle, but having to live with that information once it
was found.

91. Terrance knew that sometimes it was simply best to stay out of it. He kept
repeating this to himself as he watched the scene unfold. He knew that nothing good
would come of him getting involved. It was far better for him to stay on the
sidelines and observe. He kept yelling this to himself inside his head as he walked
over to the couple and punched the man in the face.

92. I haven't bailed on writing. Look, I'm generating a random paragraph at this
very moment in an attempt to get my writing back on track. I am making an effort. I
will start writing consistently again!

93. Josh had spent year and year accumulating the information. He knew it inside
out and if there was ever anyone looking for an expert in the field, Josh would be
the one to call. The problem was that there was nobody interested in the
information besides him and he knew it. Years of information painstakingly
memorized and sorted with not a sole giving even an ounce of interest in the topic.
94. It's an unfortunate reality that we don't teach people how to make money
(beyond getting a 9 to 5 job) as part of our education system. The truth is there
are a lot of different, legitimate ways to make money. That doesn't mean they are
easy and that you won't have to work hard to succeed, but it does mean that if
you're willing to open your mind a bit you don't have to be stuck in an office from
9 to 5 for the next fifty years o your life.

95. The drug seekers would come into the emergency room and scream about how much
pain they were in. When you told them that you would start elevating their pain
with Tylenol or Advil instead of a narcotic they became nasty and combative. They
would start telling you what drug and dose they had to have to make their pain
tolerable. After dealing with the same drug seekers several times a month it gets
old. Some of the doctors would give in and give them a dose of morphine and send
them away. Sure that was faster, but ethically she still couldn�t do it. Perhaps
that�s why she had longer care times than the other doctors.

96. The boxed moved. That was a problem. Peter had packed the box three hours
before and there was nothing inside that should make it move. The question now was
whether or not Peter was going to open it up and look inside to see why it had
moved. The answer to that question was obvious. Peter dropped the package into the
mailbox so he would never have to see it again.

97. Dave watched as the forest burned up on the hill, only a few miles from her
house. The car had been hastily packed and Marta was inside trying to round up the
last of the pets. Dave went through his mental list of the most important papers
and documents that they couldn't leave behind. He scolded himself for not having
prepared these better in advance and hoped that he had remembered everything that
was needed. He continued to wait for Marta to appear with the pets, but she still
was nowhere to be seen.

98. Spending time at national parks can be an exciting adventure, but this wasn't
the type of excitement she was hoping to experience. As she contemplated the
situation she found herself in, she knew she'd gotten herself in a little more than
she bargained for. It wasn't often that she found herself in a tree staring down at
a pack of wolves that were looking to make her their next meal.

99. The red glow of tail lights indicating another long drive home from work after
an even longer 24-hour shift at the hospital. The shift hadn�t been horrible but
the constant stream of patients entering the ER meant there was no downtime. She
had some of the �regulars� in tonight with new ailments they were sure were going
to kill them. It�s amazing what a couple of Tylenol and a physical exam from the
doctor did to eliminate their pain, nausea, headache, or whatever other mild
symptoms they had. Sometimes she wondered if all they really needed was some
interaction with others and a bit of the individual attention they received from
the nurses.

100. The opened package of potato chips held the answer to the mystery. Both
detectives looked at it but failed to realize it was the key to solve the crime.
They passed by it assuming it was random trash ensuring that the case would never
be solved.
