An odd planetoid tumbled into the solar system, bounced off Mars, tapped the Moon before settling in Earth's orbit. Both tides and understanding of the universe were disrupted.
The rapid appearance of the object shocked Earth's people into a new era of exploration.

I stumbled forward and the haze thickened about me like coiling tenticles. Twisting one way then the other, I sought out brighter spots, using these as waypoints for my route. Finally, I stepped into sunshine, facing the craggy peaks of a lone mountain and a chasm at my feet.

No one saw who lived at No. 13, but:
- the driveway was always cleared in the winter;
- grass cut in the summer;
- leaves raked in the fall;
- weekly the garbage (1 can) and recycling were at the curb.
Jimmy and Jane said they weren't scarèd and rang the bell at No. 13.

Kelly retrieved her sword from the man sitting next to her, and automatically wiped the blade clean of sand before resheathing it and setting it upon her knees. "This is just a tool. Knowing how to use it doesn't make me brave. Just more competent. And confident."

Maeve lifted the tapestry from the antique trousseau, surprised that it folded back on itself, several times longer than she expected. "You're no ordinary table decoration," she remarked, admiring a series of pictures embroidered in her Gran's hand.

The rains came, calling forth vaticors to congregate at pathway shallows. As puddles formed, they added their secretions then scudded away to wait.
"Yaaa!" roared Ethan, skipping into a puddle, agitating the mixture until it coagulated, adhering him in place.

She didn't want to go; but, now, as a young lady, Marie was expected to attend the Spring Social. She checked her hat and smoothed her flora dress; and, at the social, accepted two thin sandwiches with her tea. She listened politely though amazedly learnt much from cups rattling on #saucers.

Kaia came home from the studio, a flash drive in her hand. "The producer said our voices are #unearthly."
Darya folded her arms. "What's the point of the album? Sirens lure men into wrecking their ships on the rocks. We can't do that if they're not at sea."
"Highways are stone, too."

So get this. In, like a snap, after I push my plate away, the server came by with this cart full of cakes and pies and pudding and other goodies. There were blueberry pie and apple and pumpkin too. My mouth was literally watering looking at it all.

She plunges the silver dagger into the werewolf, and leaves it backing away.
He howls, pulling it out of his shoulder. “Ow! You suck!”
“But, you should—”
The werewolf’s eyes hold an old man’s wisdom in the moonlight. “Long ago, I learned to take the lore into my own hands!”

Spread below, he [Wizard Callas] made out the colours of petty leigelords and their vassal houses. No doubt choosing to battle over a pasture, a damsel, or some slight.
Separated on the verges of some hapless farmer's spring field they arrayed themselves.

The sheets crinkled as Brenda turned each over, revealing another layer of the city built upon cities, reminding her of a series of plastic plates in an anatomy book. She paused after uncovering 1200 years; lurching backward when her feet left the floor.

So he wasn't at all surprised when he found the secuded café behind one of the hotel's boutiques.
