2. As she hurried along the corridor to her class room, Jennifer was scared. Another member of the faculty brutally murdered! If some of the students had formed a group performing these rituals and sacrifices they were all in danger. She froze. Lying on her desk was a small doll - spattered in blood.
3. The tidal wave had engulfed the entire eastern coastal area of the continent. Survivors straggled to the mountainous regions and fights had erupted everywhere over shelter and food. Dan had packed some rations and kept away from the other groups. He would stay here tonight. The small can of beans would have to suffice. It began to rain heavily.
4. His partner was dead. A single bullet. He kept turning the scene over and over in his head but none of it made any sense. As these thoughts tumbled in his mind he reached the top of the cliff.
