Mickey Finn:
Guys, be careful here. There's potential, even in a paragraph, of story ideas territory.
I'm not saying stop, I'm just warning to be careful! :)
Don Blake:
Fire, of course, is known for it's transformative properties. Though primarily destructive, it can also burn away the impurities. The finest steel, after all, is forged in the hottest flames. I suppose you could say, then, that when Tom torched my car at a stoplight, he was turning me into a better weapon.
LizW65:
"Meet Steve Adams. By day, a mild-mannered cubicle drone in the offices of Semantech Corp; by night, a cape-clad crusader for truth, justice, and good grammar everywhere. Look -- up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it an F15 fighter jet? No! It's....THE READING RANGER!!!!"
