Excellent. And surprising that an English department at a university actually teaches English.
There is hope.

"The sun oozed over the horizon, shoved aside darkness, crept along the greensward, and, with sickly fingers, pushed through the castle window, revealing the pillaged princess, hand at throat...

How is it that I can envy terrible writing? The sun oozed over the horizon is delectably bad. LOL!

Thanks for posting that, Vaquero.

Oddly enough, here in Los Angeles, it really was a dark and stormy night.

As Hillary fell she knew the fat of her legs would soon be embedded with the rocks from the road.

At least her face was cushioned by the carpet bag she now carried. Carpet had become a familiar taste to her.

As John strode heavily in to empty estate, made dim by the absence of campaign staff, press corps and hangers-on, he saw his beloved, disheveled and oblivious, collapsed in front of the unlit fireplace, clutching only the two bottles that bespoke the essence of their relationship...gin and ketchup.

10,9,8,7 are all better (and funnier) than 6,5,4 + 3. 2 + 1 are good. #8 was the best, I laughed out loud.

Well.....if you liked that, try:
