“We have to shut the systems down, NOW!” Harvey screamed as he ran towards the front of the assembly line.
“What? Why?” The foreman questioned him, not wanting to stop production if it wasn’t necessary.
“Tom’s coat is stuck in the belt!”
Just then, a blood chilling scream was heard from the back of the warehouse.

“A baby?”
She sighed her frustration.
“Yes. A. Baby.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, Todd. I’m sure. I think I would know.”
“What if there are multiples?”
“I’m sure there will be.”
“Will she be ok?” The concern in his voice stopped her from making a snide comment.
“Yes, Todd. She’s a dog, they have babies all the time and she will be fine.”

Protecting her bare skin from the cool night air, Aaron draped his jacket over Holly’s shoulders.
She looked up and smiled vaguely at him as they walked on the boardwalk.
“You gonna tell me what’s on your mind?” He asked gently.
“No.” She said quietly. “I don’t even want to know what’s on my mind, Aaron. Why would I burden you with it as well?”

His mouth opened and closed like a fish gasping for air. His skin felt hot and his pants suddenly felt too tight around his stomach. He couldn’t speak as the foam in his lungs gathered in his mouth and blocked his airways.
As his vision began to blur and go dark, he struggle to question.

Anna walked into the kitchen and instantly knew she had interrupted something. Being a low-level servant was never fun, but when you walked in on something you shouldn’t be hearing, it could mean losing your job.
Maggie, the head house maid, scowled at Anna and barked at her.
“Go sweep the courtyard!”
Throwing a finger into the air in the direction of the courtyard as if Anna was a dullard and didn’t know where it was, Maggie glared at her until she left the room.
As she walked out, Anna was sure she heard the name of Lady Jane mentioned in undertones.

I was the master of my domain. I was in charge of all the lands that lay out before me. I strode to the top of the hill to get a better look. The birds soared around the hill as if paying homage to their new king. I took a deep breath and nearly choked.
“Frank!” A voice yelled up at me.
“Hey Frank, get the hell off of there! We need to doze it.”
I grabbed my hard hat and surfed down the rubbish heap on a cardboard box.

In the shadows of twilight, a promise floats on the breeze.
In the movement of love, a happiness follows behind
Swirling around and around, the joy trails in happy flight
And takes wing to fly with stars into the dark night.

“I simply MUST have this!” Kara swung around, the yellow skirt of the sundress swirling around her legs. She beamed.
“We can’t, Kara. You know we can’t.” Matt said it quietly and darted his eyes around to make sure no one could hear them.
“I didn’t say I was going to BUY it.” Kara winked and headed toward the dressing room. Emerging a few minutes later, she headed for the door.
Matt started after her and looked back at the empty hanger in the changing room.

Maggie put her bookbag on the table and walked toward the back of the library. She had to get her report on interpersonal communication started.
Walking to the reference section, she heard scuffling and what she thought was voices. Creeping quietly, she peered around the corner of the last row. Her eyes widened and she was frozen where she stood.
A tiny, blue, baby dragon peeked up at her from under a pile of books.

Mark screamed like a bitch and threw his arms around in the air.
Dan, frozen by the female screeching of his very male friend, stared with wide eyes as Mark flailed around and finally fell on the floor.
“Mark?” Dan finally managed to say. “Are you alright?”
“Fucking SPIDER!” Mark yelled with his face in the rug.
“Well,” Dan said, resuming eating his lunch, “that was an experience.”
