1. The stars were burning brightly in the night sky. The evening breeze felt cool
on my skin. It was the last night of summer break and I was calm, oddly calm.
It's not that I was excited to go back to school. I wasn't. School is a lot of work
for me. But I was excited to see my friend again, and I know that she would be
there.

2. It was noon. The sun was high in the blue sky. The air was filled with the sounds
of lawn mowers and birds chirping. A door opened. A young boy walked outside.
A woman's voice could be heard from the house yelling, "Wait for me, Michael."
The young boy did not wait. He ran to the sidewalk and began jumping. "Yeah!
Yeahl Machine gunl" he yelled, pointing an invisible gun in all directions. He
took imaginary shots every few seconds and pantomimed the recoil.
