I was scared.

There was no time to be scared.

They say I am a hero.

Served in a company of heros.

The scars haven't healed yet.

Buried the memories long ago.

I've been told that I am difficult to live with.

It could be a myth.

You need to get off the couch.

Don't be such a grouch.

Looks like it's going to rain.

I'm not feeling any pain.

There's a good movie on channel eight.

Maybe, I should lose weight.

There's a baseball game on channel three.

Is it time to plant the apple tree?

There's no use going to therapy.

Doctors and chemotherapy!

Finally, our team has the lead!

Rumors that he smoked weed.

He should have hit that baseball out of the park.

In another hour, it will be dark.

I was scared.

There was no time to be scared.
