1. We walked through the side door of the Happy Burger. Contrary to the name of the restaurant, many of the employees and patrons appeared to be rather unhappy. We waited in a long line until a cashier, who looked as though she had just been crying, took our order. Our burgers appeared to have been flattened. I can't say that we were happy with our Happy Burger experience.

2. Derrick could no longer contain his curiosity. He took the mystery box off the table and shook it next to his ear. The sound revealed nothing to him. The desire to know was burning up his insides. He downplayed his emotions and said innocently, "I wonder what's in it?" Devin shrugged her shoulders. She wanted to know too, but she wasn't about to disobey Sage Milquetoast's orders. After all, She was trying to get her wizard degree. But she had no idea as to the extent that Derrick was willing to go.

Komar stopped walking. The path was dusty. He grabbed his torn shirtsleeve and pulled it firmly until the sleeve tore off the shirt. Komar slipped the torn shirtsleeve around his head until it was covering his mouth and nose. As Komar continued walking through the thick dust clouds on the beaten path, vultures followed him. One of the vultures squawked. Komar kept walking.

Kevin stared at the spaceship like a thirsty man would look at a glass of water. He knew that if he could just get behind the control panel, he would be home. Eleanor noticed Kevin staring at the ship. She saw the look in his eye and inferred his thoughts. "It would be nice, wouldn't it?" Eleanor asked Kevin. He nodded, slightly embarrassed to be caught daydreaming. Eleanor noticed this too. "Too bad you'd be dead before you could get within 100 feet of it," warned Eleanor.

The moon was full. Its rays brightened the darkness. Sherman slid down the rope. When he reached the bottom, he brushed his hands on his pants and ran into the woods. A wolf howled. Sherman picked up a long stick and pulled a knife from his backpack. He began whittling the end of the stick into a point. He folded his knife and put it back in his backpack. Now Sherman ran through the moonlit forest while brandishing a pointy stick. Another wolf howled.

. The farmhand scratched his head and said, "So you haven't seen a giant chicken anywhere around here?" I looked into his eyes to see if he was putting me on. He seemed sincere. "How big is he?" I asked. The farmhand pointed at a large SUV and said, "Oh, he's about yea big." Now I looked at him with disbelief and said, "You're telling me that you have a chicken as big as a truck, he's out of control, and he's somewhere around here?" The farmhand nodded his head stupidly. And that's when I heard the loudest clucking noise that I had ever heard.

Jax was positioned on the roof of a large bank building located in a busy downtown area. He was lying down on the edge of the roof and squinting one eye. With the other eye, he peered through the scope of a rifle. "Target," said Jax. A camouflaged man who was looking through a pair of binoculars responded by saying, "Two clicks to the left, Jax." Jax adjusted the barrel of his rifle. "Wind," said Jax. The camouflaged man looked at a gadget in his hand and said, "Ten MPH from the west." Jax adjusted the barrel of his rifle ever so slightly.

The moon was full. A chill settled in the woods. I was sharpening a stake by the fire. Mario was setting a fishing line around our camp. He strung the line with empty cans so that if anyone, or anything, crept up on us, we'd have a chance to act. Once the line was set, Mario joined me by the fire. "It's too short," he said. "Excuse me?" I responded. "Your stake is too short. You're not going to be able to pierce the rib cage with such a short stake. You need more leverage."

Sheila rubbed her fingers through Buttercup's mane. Sheila loved Buttercup. Buttercup had been Sheila's steed for five years now, and the two felt bonded beyond words. This was good because, as a horse, Buttercup had no words. Buttercup neighed softly. She loved when Sheila was near her. Sheila giggled, and then she remembered that she had a treat for Buttercup. Sheila pulled a red and yellow apple from her backpack and gave it to Buttercup. Buttercup felt cherished.
