1. There was something special about this little creature.
Donna
couldn't quite pinpoint what it was, but she knew with all her heart
that it was true. It wasn't a matter of if she was going to try and
save it, but a matter of how she was going to save it. She went
back to the car to get a blanket and when she returned the creature
was gone.
2. 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.
3. Twenty-five years Dana had been waiting. She tried to be patient
during that time but she hadn't always managed to be as patient as
she'd like. But today the opportunity had finally come. The thing
she always imagined would make her the happiest person in the
world was about to happen. She didn't know why at this specific
time she all of a sudden felt sick inside.
4. They decided to find the end of the rainbow. While they hoped
they would find a pot of gold, neither of them truly believed that
the mythical pot would actually be there. Nor did they believe they
could actually find the end of the rainbow. Still, it seemed like a
fun activity for the day, and pictures of them chasing rainbows
would look great on their Instagram accounts. They would have
never believed they would actually find the end of a rainbow, and
when they did, what they actually found there.
5. There was nothing to indicate Nancy was going to change the
world. She looked like an average girl going to an average high
school. It was the fact that everything about her seemed average
that would end up becoming her superpower.
6. All he could think about was how it would all end. There was still
a bit of uncertainty in the equation, but the basics were there for
anyone to see. No matter how much he tried to see the positive, it
wasn't anywhere to be seen. The end was coming and it wasn't
going to be pretty.
7. 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.
8. The picket fence had stood for years without any issue. That's all it
was. A simple, white, picket fence. Why it had all of a sudden
become a lightning rod within the community was still
unbelievable to most. Yet a community that had once lived in
harmony was now divided in bitter hatred and it had everything to
do with the white picket fence.
9. Should he write it down? That was the question running through
his mind. He couldn't believe what had just happened and he knew
nobody else would believe him as well. Even if he documented
what had happened by writing it down, he still didn't believe
anyone would still believe it. So the question remained. Was it be
worth it to actually write it down?
10.I guess we could discuss the implications of the phrase "meant to
be." That is if we wanted to drown ourselves in a sea of
backwardly referential semantics and other mumbo-jumbo. Maybe
such a discussion would result in the determination that "meant to
be" is exactly as meaningless a phrase as it seems to be, and that
none of us is actually meant to be doing anything at all. But that's
my existential underpants underpinnings showing. It's the way the
cookie crumbles. And now I want a cookie.
