1. There weren't supposed to be dragons flying in the sky.

First and
foremost, dragons didn't exist. They were mythical creatures from
fantasy books like unicorns. This was something that Pete knew in
his heart to be true so he was having a difficult time
acknowledging that there were actually fire-breathing dragons
flying in the sky above him.

2. It's an unfortunate reality that we don't teach people how to make

money (beyond getting a 9 to 5 job) as part of our education
system. The truth is there are a lot of different, legitimate ways to
make money. That doesn't mean they are easy and that you won't
have to work hard to succeed, but it does mean that if you're
willing to open your mind a bit you don't have to be stuck in an
office from 9 to 5 for the next fifty years o your life.

3. Pink ponies and purple giraffes roamed the field. Cotton candy
grew from the ground as a chocolate river meandered off to the
side. What looked like stones in the pasture were actually rock
candy. Everything in her dream seemed to be perfect except for the
fact that she had no mouth.

4. The clowns had taken over. And yes, they were literally clowns.
Over 100 had appeared out of a small VW bug that had been
driven up to the bank. Now they were all inside and had taken it
over.

5. He had three simple rules by which he lived. The first was to never
eat blue food. There was nothing in nature that was edible that was
blue. People often asked about blueberries, but everyone knows
 those are actually purple. He understood it was one of the stranger
rules to live by, but it had served him well thus far in the 50+ years
of his life.

6. She glanced up into the sky to watch the clouds taking shape. First,
she saw a dog. Next, it was an elephant. Finally, she saw a giant
umbrella and at that moment the rain began to pour.

7. The box sat on the desk next to the computer. It had arrived earlier
in the day and business had interrupted her opening it earlier. She
didn't who had sent it and briefly wondered who it might have
been. As she began to unwrap it, she had no idea that opening it
would completely change her life.

8. The thing that's great about this job is the time sourcing the items
involves no traveling. I just look online to buy it. It's really as
simple as that. While everyone else is searching for what they can
sell, I sit in front of my computer and buy better stuff for less
money and spend a fraction of the time doing it.

9.It wasn't that he hated her. It was simply that he didn't like her
much. It was difficult for him to explain this to her, and even more
difficult for her to truly understand. She was in love and wanted
him to feel the same way. He didn't, and no matter how he tried to
explain to her she refused to listen or to understand.
 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.

11. It wasn't quite yet time to panic. There was still time to salvage the
situation. At least that is what she was telling himself. The reality
was that it was time to panic and there wasn't time to salvage the
situation, but he continued to delude himself into believing there
was.

12. Lori lived her life through the lens of a camera. She never realized
this until this very moment as she scrolled through thousands of
images on your computer. She could remember the exact moment
each photo was taken. She could remember where she had been,
what she was thinking as she tried to get the shot, the smells of the
surrounding area, and even the emotions that she felt taking the
photo, yet she had trouble remembering what she had for breakfast.

13. It had been a rough day. Things hadn't gone as planned and that
meant Hannah got yelled at by her boss. It didn't even matter that it
wasn't her fault. When things went wrong at work, Hannah got the
blame no matter the actual circumstances. It wasn't fair, but there
was little she could do without risking her job, and she wasn't in a
position to do that with the plans she had.
14. There was a time when this wouldn't have bothered her. The fact
that it did actually bother her bothered her even more. What had
changed in her life that such a small thing could annoy her so
much for the entire day? She knew it was ridiculous that she even
took notice of it, yet she was still obsessing over it as she tried to
fall asleep.

15. He was after the truth. At least, that's what he told himself. He
believed it, but any rational person on the outside could see he was
lying to himself. It was apparent he was really only after his own
truth that he'd already decided and was after this truth because the
facts didn't line up with the truth he wanted. So he continued to tell
everyone he was after the truth oblivious to the real truth sitting
right in front of him.
