The asthmatic fat kid lumbered to his least favorite class:"Studies in state-sponsored urban terrorism;" or as others called it "gym, with dodgeball."

Flish's eyes shone with light, reflected from the horrified fisherman's lantern.

He liked to break the rules. Like writing two lines instead of one.

*smiling at the Chip Clip*

Annie's character was like a fine French pastry; flaky on the outside, but full of wholesome goodness.

Abby really loved the phrase 'Three times', it seemed to roll so nicely off the tongue; unfortunately, since she was unable to find many reasons to use it in practical conversation, she was forced to take to mumbling it under her breath at odd intervals.

Greg had an emotional memory unencumbered by details.

(That's a paraphrase of a favorite - I can't remember the exact quote. It's from Silas Marner.)

She had the looks that could best be described as "Pretty from a distance."

He had the looks only a mother could love, and he had shot his mother earlier that day.

Everyday Dan planned to conquer the world, but always got stuck in traffic instead.

My voice is not a lethal weapon, but those who hear me sing wish it was just to end the torment.

Mannie and his mojo idly surveyed the nightclub for the fresh talent, and then he desultorily imagined what the girls would seem like to a wolf-pack of sharks--the cute bartenders working like octopii, with their inky "work ethic" defensive cloud , there, a group of co-workers like a shoal of graceful dolphins (dangerous in their numbers), against the wall a pod of whales mournfully wailing their sad songs...but then he saw her, all alone at the end of the bar, a pretty young thing with tattoos, piercings, and a tattered Blind Faith tee, knocking back Tequila shots like she'd never had a Tequila hangover, she was the girlish equivalent to a wounded baby seal!
Mannie gleefully glided in for the kill before the other sharks could scent blood in the water.

Annie, one long run-on sentence plus a short one is a story?
The first sentence came to me in a dream, and I never argue with my dreams.

The hacker gathered all his resolve and spunk, and for the 4th time that night tried to explain fonts and icons to his well-meaning but clueless friend.

(I'm no hacker, but this happened to me tonight.)

Neal was the kind of guy who would drink Corona when he needed to sober up.

-|-

He would fly of on an angry tangent at any opportunity, like that time we were all watching a movie, and he starts ranting about his girlfriend or something, and we all just want him to shut the **** up; I mean, who feels the need to do this all the goddamn time; it gets so old, always shouting away about the most minor goddamn thing, carrying an angry diatribe about everything that has ever happened to him, grow the **** up. Christ.

Morbo never argued with his dreams, so when he dreamed he could fly, he bought the red tights and the cape and made his way onto the roof.

Dan_Raven too often would bicker furiously with the falcons jerkined to his wrists, especially on long car trips.

I know someone who once got a fortune cookie that said: "The blue bird of happieness will crap on your birthday cake". [Eek!]

Flish would never forget the eyes he saw glowing in the dark under the floorboards of the old sugar factory his class toured, and he often embarrassed himself by whimpering about it to whomever would listen.
