Adventure

It was a cold morning in the African Jungle.
The lead juror uttered the word I would never forget for the rest of life, "guilty."
Just as he died, the crusty pirate slipped young Tom the treasure map.
With one shot from our rifle, we knew...
The cast on his left leg slowed him down too much.
We were running out of canned goods and drinking water.
As they always said, two wrongs do not make a right.
The American flag now flew over the fort.
"Leave me alone," Shauna said to herself as the car kept following her through the neighborhood.
I slowly handed him the knife.
I tried to stop her but she jumped before I could.
It was a long time ago when you never had to lock your doors.
It was late December in '63 when...
Sandra cried, "Duck!" and we all hit the ground.
That's when the ship...
He came running frantically towards me.
Even though we never caught him, we all felt justice was served.
The summer was great and I plan to do it all again next year.
Once again the sun peeped over the horizon.
Finally, the night grew deeper and we slept.
The lights glared and the humming increased as the strange object began to descend.
Water was quickly filling our small life boat.
The stagecoach rounded the corner and we saw a small farm ahead.
I whipped the horse hoping to outrun the....
And they thought baseball was just for boys.
No one ever said this would be easy.
It just goes to show that if it has value it is worth waiting for.
Babysitting can sometimes be a real adventure.
Ryan, the computer hacker, had plans to blow up the computer.
He doubled over from the impact of the fist.
You have to remember, jokers are wild.
Men had been trying to recover the lost treasure since 1795.
Hurricane winds blew wildly through the small seacoast town.
The wall of water came rushing toward them...
Some people were able to escape the volcano's burning ashes.
It was the end of the world...or so it seemed.
As he approached the doorway, his heart began to thump.
They lived to see the sun rise another day.

Drama

Our plans were suddenly changed.
They could go no further.
We were mindful of his great anger.
Never had water looked so good.
The jagged lightning slashed across...
The game was decided in the sixth inning...
He always was my favorite relative.
Everything was calm and peaceful, when suddenly...
He doubled over from the impact of the fist.
Why? Why? Why does this always happen to me?
"Stop that obnoxious noise right now!"
His sentence was life in prison and this did not seem like justice.
It was a dark and stormy night...
One thought occupied my mind; I am up next!
They laughed loudly when he tripped and slid down the new polished hallway.
No one ever said this would be easy.
It just goes to show that if it has value it is worth waiting for.
Babysitting can sometimes be a real adventure.
When I was a young child, I used to be overweight.
She told me her name was Sarah, but Sarah was dead.
That's when the ship...
They both gasped in relief.
Gradually, the night grew darker and we slept.
The walls trembled as the quake shook the region.
We tucked the drowsy children into their sleeping bags.
Baggy pants really were the best thing to wear.
Whoever heard of a striped cat named Spot?
I just won fourteen million dollars!
We saw a fin rise up out of the water as the sharks circled around us.
Was our town a peaceful place?

Mystery

"I didn't do it!" Sean shouted to the furious old lady. He woke suddenly and completely.
The dismal bog seemed to brood in the silence until, suddenly,...
For the absolute last time, you must sit down!
The night was darkening around them.
They split the treasure equally making each rich beyond his wildest dream.
"Who's next?"
The fun house at the carnival attracted the unsuspecting group's attention.
There he was, sitting calmly in the hotel lobby.
The spaghetti was cold by the time we returned to the table.
She heard the harsh voice whisper, "I'm going to kill you."
He woke up remembering nothing from the previous day.
Ryan, the computer hacker, had plans to blow up the computer.
"Will you stop that obnoxious noise right now!?"
His sentence was life in prison and this did not seem like justice.
It was a dark and stormy night...
I peered out into the gloomy fog and thought I could see...
I whipped the horse hoping to outrun the...
No one ever said this would be easy.
T'was a long time ago when you never had to lock your doors.
It was late December in '63 when...
In another ten minutes it would all be over.
Even though we never caught him, we all felt justice was served.
Once again the sun peeped over the horizon.
The dying man groaned these words, "The Flying Eye..."
That's why baseballs are round.
Suddenly we heard that tap, tap, tapping again.
The clock struck twelve.
We needed just one more clue in order to solve this mystery.
I'll wager you can't make her talk.
It was just a case of mistaken identities.
The parrot croaked, "Awk...pieces of eight Awk."
I was on my way to the station when I got the call.
I was at the scene when I found the glove.

Romance
It was late December in '63 when...
We all went our separate ways and have never seen each other again.
Once again the sun peeped over the horizon.
The dog panted as it licked my tear-stained face.
No one ever said this would be easy.
Everything was calm and peaceful, when suddenly...
That's why we always go skiing in the Caribou Mountains.
He touched his spurs to his gallant pony and loped away across the sunlit plain.
We awoke to find ourselves completely alone on the isolated island.
I can't believe it! He asked me to the dance!
Once upon a time, in a far away land, lived this guy.
It was a rainy, slushy, day in the downtown streets of Manhattan.

Science Fiction

Beneath the monstrous creature stood Bob, laughing.
Out of the bubbling mud emerged...
Sarah looked back fearing to see...
It wasn't really magic after all.
Randy spent the remainder of the day laughing.
Ryan, the computer hacker, had plans to blow up the computer.
Suddenly the computer began repeating the words, "Fire, Fire, Fire."
I peered out into the gloomy fog and though I could see...
The day had finally ended and then...
That's when the ship...
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, the evil gogoes were parading through space.
He removed the machete from his belt and cut his ear off.
The evil Rufus Bilge decided to blow up the small, innocent town of Charlotte.
Babmayus suddenly pushed the self-destruct button on the mother ship.
Everyone said that it was impossible to make snowballs in July.
The bushes scarcely hid me from the searching soldiers.
Saliva dripped from his blood-stained fangs.
Stuff that thing back in its box!
That was no joke.
We all had hoped for a much happier reunion.
