She sits in the corner of the dance, shy and #demure. She is left alone for the most part.
The winner for the evening is the one who takes a chance on her, for that is not her true nature.

“I can tell you that it’s not the way to do it, by #virtue of my years of experience.”
Don’t listen to that. Just because someone is old doesn’t mean that they know any better than you.
Except for this guy…

The hot dogs and hamburgers seemed to stretch on forever. The entire town showed up to the Colonel’s farm on this day every year.
“We never see him. I had no idea he was so #generous…”
“Only today. In honor of his old friends…”

His prize was bigger than his wildest dreams of #avarice.
Now, you might say, “Well, I can dream pretty big.”
The Powerball begs to differ.

I handed the homeless person a $50 bill, for which he was grateful.
My companion mocked me. “That was certainly a #noble gesture, but ultimately futile.”
“Perhaps. But maybe it’s enough for him to get off of this corner.”

He emerged from the bedroom dressed to the nines. “It’s my small tithe to #Eros,” he said slyly.
Small indeed, his roommate sighed under his breath.

The dress did not flatter her at all. She let her #envy of the popular girls get the best of her.
The rest is history.

Worked all of my life to find this tempting fate
This desire for you, a #hunger I cannot sate
I should be ecstatic, but don’t feel so great

Sometimes I get Tweets that implore me, “Don’t break the #chain!”

No one told you that you would be a success at everything in this race. Your level of competence is equal parts talent and work. We all end up in the same place.
Enjoy the #ride.

The ambitious, successful businesswoman had corporate America by the throat. Away from the boardroom, she had a much different side.
She showed her #tattoo to only a select few.

The first day of #summer marks the apex of the sun in the northern sky. It also marks the beginning of the descent into the finest season, the fall.
It is therefore my favorite day of the year.

The story comes to a premature end, the hero about to meet his demise. One person has the power to save the day, but inexplicably does not.
