Very nice, Laura! :D
And here is a few of my own. :D

Always wanting what she cannot have.

Always reaching. Never touching. Always hoping.

A deadly sip of wine. Poison.

The folks here are rocking at Hemingways. :cool:

I had to run. Run. RUN!

Angry natives. I hate the jungle.

Footsteps. Silence. Footsteps. Then he died.

I had to kill me. Somehow.

That made me think of 'Africa Screams'. Have you ever watched that movie?

Enemies must become allies to win.

No to one, yes to all.

Victory for one, defeat for another.

Death of One, Saviour to all.

The blind man saw it all.


Not the best, I'm afraid. :P

Good ones, Dairy! Now...

Forty-five minutes left until launch ( ;) ).

The town was haunted, they said.

Trick-or-treating: life's entire purpose.


I know, not many. Hopefully my creative juices will be flowing good in forty minutes. :P

Good ones, Michael!

Now...

I had to write - or else ( ;) ).

The deadly trap slayed its setter.

Bleeding. Again. This was too regular.


Wow, only three. o.O But I've written a lot tonight, so I'm tired...:P

Poison is a very yummy snack.

Crush must write more - he
must!

I had better write more, too.

The donkey spoke. A talking donkey?!

Oh, dear. I lost another life.

The GPS sounded:
You have arrived.

Deception was not his major advantage.

The tree house - our only option.

A backyard pool: our final battleground.

Thump, thump, thump. Silence. Enemy neutralized.

She smelled the terrible thing coming.

It was silence that hurt worst.

Live a villain, die a hero.

Your enemy's spy was my ally.

Evidence on his camera told all.

WARNING: Large extinct dinosaurs patrolling area.

Two words, one cheat: photon man.

What would his father say now?

He was innocent, but died guilty.

Sleep came quietly: so did death.

The sky grew trees bearing lightening.

What eez deez man doo-eeng heere?!

She nearly there. Almost. Not quite.

The scream died in his throat.

Such joy had never been expressed.

Darkness, unbroken, spread over the land.

They marched the kingdom like ants.

"What is that awful smell, sir?"

Two men, waiting for someone, alone.

Gold sat there, ripe for taking.

Mmm - Hemingways. ^_^

The skyscraper was the madman's playground.

Malls were meant to be broken.

I hate psychopath-run water parks.

"One more step, and she's dead."

The wind died, so did he.

The road ended, it's finally over.

Small, and alone, the girl waited.

Just as he breathed, it fell.

She shuddered, afraid of the dark.

With great fire, their world ended.

His sword only was left behind.

He dared not look at himself.

The mirror shattered, the bullet splintered.

It was that smell, like gunpowder.

Dark reflections of a deadly blade.

The mysterious whisperer had finally arrived.

She was alone in the crowd.

What they thought, she was not.

She was herself only for Him.
