He picks it out. “Perfect,” he says.
Arrangements for the day are made.
They arrive on an empty beach at sunset.
Fluorescent oranges and luminous yellows paint the sky;
Their eyes meet.
He gets down on one knee.
With the “perfect” ring in hand, he asks,
“Will you marry me?”

A Day of War in Lifeless Land
Voting #: 4100
The barren desert soon fills with Enemies.
My mission: eliminate them.
Hands trembling, sweat beating, I hold my weapon.
Crater-making explosions hit the lifeless Earth.
I hear shooting in the distance.
I am hit. I drop to the ground.
I see the light, but stay away for another day.

Valentine’s Day
Voting #: 4101
The chocolate made a crunch as I bit into the caramelized center. A knock rang from my door: I couldn’t respond. Let them think I was dead. I didn’t care. All I knew was I would never take him back. Rising, I opened the door and gasped.
“Happy Valentines Day”

The Beginning of the End

It was dark as they drove up. Cars filled a normally vacant driveway. The inside of the house was still emptiness. She walked in cheerfully but was greeted with silence, followed by numerous harsh whispers. Something wasn’t right. Her mom spoke:
“Sweetie”, she said “Dad had a heart attack today”

I wake up to find my room covered in silly string. Immediately, I know that this is the work of my brother, the “Prank King”. I hear a scream from the other room. I imagine he found the dead snake I left under his bed. The “Prank Queen” strikes again.

Finally, after three hours of waiting in line, the front is in sight. My excitement rises as I can see the twist and turns of the roller coaster. I run to the next open car, but am suddenly stopped. “Sorry”, says the conductor, “you're not tall enough for this ride.”

Forty three seconds left in the super bowl.
Voting #: 4105
I decided to call a Hail Mary for the win. The ball is hiked, I take a large drop back and launch the ball and it lands in the hands of my best wide-receiver for a touchdown. The undefeated team is world champs! God, I am good at playing Madden.
