The Great Wide Open
Nancy kept clicking her nails on the polished wood steering wheel. Outside on the hot asphalt the tires squelched along. A porcupine nibbled on some bark. -@cliffagreen

The Gator and I
We were in search of a rare herb we needed for our school project. The Oleifera Sabdarifa was a reddish-brown scented flower whose nectar could cure almost all ailments known to man. Almost. And the herb was in only one place in the whole of Nigeria. On the shores of the Watery Lake. Here in Bayelsa. -@bruno-kema
You've jumped from a plane, run out of a burning building and escaped the jaws of an alligator. Bravo! -@theinkwell

Sleepwalking
Her finger was still in search of the lamp button. "Damn this!" She shouted as she stretched her hands further and found the button. Then she turned on the lamp, the shadows scattered to the deepest corners of the room as illumination fell upon the object in the room. On the bedside table were a beautiful flower vase, a hair comb, and an alarm device. -@ubani1

Martin's Novel
Mr. Anthony Filmore intervenes to remind them, as well as Mr. Gross, that this happened, precisely at the same time, many years ago, according to what he heard from his father. That they were static for 4 months, without fishing, and then the fish appeared again. They never knew the reason for their disappearance, until now when the phenomenon appeared again. -@katleya
Do the three "special people" work magic, or is the town engaging in a bit of self-delusion? Either way, readers are amused. The young fellow falling off the chair helps to make the scene, and the people seem more real. A small detail like that grounds the action. -@theinkwell
