Lost! - by Dawn
She paused by the tree to warm her freezing hands. It was getting more and more difficult to concentrate. She despised being lost, but there wasn't anything she could do about it. She rummaged in her bag, hoping against hope to find something edible left in it, but knowing that she'd eaten the last Tic-Tac an hour ago. Sighing, she started again toward the setting sun, praying that she would find civilization before she froze to death.

Short & Sweet? - by Chris
I was hot and tired and seeing a tree alongside the path, I paused on the trail and leaned against it. I picked up the bag I’d dropped and put my hand into it, trying to find something cold to drink. All I found was a can of warm, melted orange juice concentrate. I despise warm OJ concentrate. BLECH!
