1. Stormi is a dog. She is dark grey and has long legs.

Her eyes are

expressive and are able to let her humans know what she is
thinking. Her tongue is long, pink, and wet. Her long legs allow
her to sprint after other dogs, people or bunnies. She can be a
good dog, but also very bad. Her tail wags when happy or
excited and hides between her back legs when she is bad. Stormi
is a dog I love.

2. The towels had been hanging from the rod for years. They were
stained and worn, and quite frankly, just plain ugly. Debra didn't
want to touch them but she really didn't have a choice. It was
important for her to see what was living within them.

3. It probably seemed trivial to most people, but it mattered to

Tracey. She wasn't sure why it mattered so much to her, but she
understood deep within her being that it mattered to her. So for
the 365th day in a row, Tracey sat down to eat pancakes for
breakfast.

4. What were the chances? It would have to be a lot more than 100
to 1. It was likely even more than 1,000 to 1. The more he
thought about it, the odds of it happening had to be more than
10,000 to 1 and even 100,000 to 1. People often threw around
the chances of something happening as being 1,000,000 to 1 as
an exaggeration of an unlikely event, but he could see that they
may actually be accurate in this situation. Whatever the odds of
it happening, he knew they were big. What he didn't know was
whether this happening was lucky or unlucky.

5. The house was located at the top of the hill at the end of a
winding road. It wasn't obvious that the house was there, but
 everyone in town knew that it existed. They were just all too
afraid to ever go and see it in person.

6. The trees, therefore, must be such old and primitive techniques

that they thought nothing of them, deeming them so
inconsequential that even savages like us would know of them
and not be suspicious. At that, they probably didn't have too
much time after they detected us orbiting and intending to land.
And if that were true, there could be only one place where their
civilization was hidden.

7. It wasn't supposed to end that way. The plan had been

meticulously thought out and practiced again and again. There
was only one possible result once it had been implemented, but
as they stood there the result wasn't anything close to what it
should have been. They all blankly looked at each wondering
how this could have happened. In their minds, they all began to
blame the other members of the group as to why they had failed.
