  1. “It’s alarming,” you say, poking at the lost clocks and watches.

    I keep quiet, but chuckle as you continue to fiddle with the artifacts, a pocketwatch in your hands.

  4. The world is alarming. It happens all the time. Just when you think that you know something, the world will turn around and change it. The world can decide if they will change it to make it something good. Most often they make it surprising, or unexpected. Most of the time they make it scary, and bad for you. But you can not be alarmed. You have to stick with it. You have to get through it..

  11. Alarming. An alarmed llama. It’s alarming how charming I feel! My mind is so strange right now, I’m rather alarmed myself. To alarm, to frighten, to make cautious. Yea, I don’t know anything of what alarming really can be.

Both things churned in his gut – nothing like this was supposed to happen, but just like in those crappy movies he was usually coerced into watching, it did. And his breath was caught in a mix of terror and slight curiosity. This was a marvel, after all. There was nothing else like it in existence. Supposedly. Sure, the damn thing spawned insanity. But it was almost cool.

  31. Their savings were being depleted at an alarming rate. The job loss — unexpected, though not entirely — had thrown their expenses into a new kind of relief. The essentials — mortgage, cell phones, cable, water, electric, car payments, medical co-pays — off course had to take priority. The trick now was to decide how many curtailments to their normal spending they could comfortable absorb, and how much suffering they were in for.

  33. I do startle myself on occasion, with my anger. I never get angry, but oh, sometimes, you hurt the heart I don’t have, that heart outside myself which I can only speak to…

    because your eyes, they have no virtue.

  39. It’s alarming how fast his fingers can move. My money was wadded up in the heel of my boot, I’m sure. At least that’s where I left it. But now the familiar clump of bills is held between those long, dammed fingers of his. He waves it in front of my face jokingly, his freckled nose scrunched up with laughter. “Thanks for that.” He steps out of the way as I lunge for my money. “I’ve been looking for someone to buy my lunch.”

Suddenly, his jealousy got the best of him: he screamed and bolted out of the room with flailing arms.
