The lone football sat on the field after it was all over. The marks upon it a stark reminder of the unfortunate game between the Arizona Wildcats and the Michigan Wolverines. Nobody could have forseen the transformations that happened that day. Nobody could answer the bloodbath that followed.

Although Nadal made the return, his mind was elsewhere. His concern that he matched the clay with his outfit being paramount.

Hang In There

It was a forbidden love. Ralph and Flora knew this. They knew it like they knew nothing else. All their lives their respective peoples beat it into their heads. A love like this could never be. It was against all morals. It was against all laws. It was against all nature.

Yet at the end, the taboo did not matter. Ralph and Flora could not deny what they knew to be true in their hearts, and for this they perished. A love became a Legend.

The storm came up suddenly that day, and Kathy could never forgive herself for not being nearer to her dear Darren when the lightning struck. It was not too many months later that Kathy threw herself to the cows in despair.

Twinkie always was a bit of a rebel among his fellow seeds, but when he climbed to the top of the head, his status was elevated, and when a strong gust suddenly came up and took Twinkie in a blink of the eye his legend was born.

Through the Window

Johnny looked out his window every day, and wondered what would happen were he to walk through those trees. The very act was forbidden. The stories enough to curdle the blood, yet Johnny wondered.

Then one day Johnny threw open the window, and in defiance of all he knew, jumped down and walked calmly through the trees.

The wind blew ominously through the silent land.

Rolling HIlls

Comment:
Even after the cataclysm, Steven -- The Last Combine -- wouldn't quit. He would never quit. He could never quit. So, to this day, he wanders the lonely expanses of a never changing land, reaping the grain that only he can reap, to feed the people that only he can feed.

It is life's greatest tragedy that Steven could never realize that there were no people left, and those that he fed were only his imagination.

Concentration

In a sad turn of events, after saving the life of Frodo by making horses in the waves of the River Bruinen next to Rivendell to take down the Ring Wraiths, Gandalf spent his retirement into the 8th Age of Middle Earth by making a modest living creating animal shapes to scare poor unwary surfers with. He finally passed a lonely, bitter old man.
