Answer 1

As a kid, I was determined to become a professional baseball player. I lived in Minneapolis, so the weather was less than ideal for baseball. But with the coming of summer, I spent practically every waking hour in my backyard.
It was a big backyard, rectangular in shape. Standing with my back to the house, I would look out over the outfield. A picket fence separated our place from the back alley. That was the homerun fence. On one side of the yard was a row of tall hedges with tangled branches that reached out to the sky like thin arms. Those hedges represented the crowd. On the other side was a doghouse, which was like the dugout where my team waited on the bench. At night, the lights in the back alley lit up my backyard so that we could play night games.
My neighbor and I would take turns pitching balls to each other. My neighbor had an impressive fastball that was tough to hit. I could just see the digital scoreboard reporting the speed of his pitches. 90 mph. 95 mph. 100 mph! But with my team rooting for me from the bench and the crowd watching my every swing, I refused to strike out.
Every now and again, I would hit the ball over the homerun fence. Running around the bases, I would close my eyes and imagine the fireworks exploding in the stadium. I would hear the breeze tossing the leaves of our Elm tree, which was like the sound of the crowd cheering me on. And I would wave to my adoring fans and know exactly how it felt to be a professional baseball player.

Answer 7

Stasis was stuck behind the border of the rival company. The terrain was dead. The trees looked like skeletons. The earth was black. Hardened pillow lava crusted over much of the landscape. Even now, the landscape looked as if it was steaming.
Stasis held his spot firmly and looked to his homing beacon. A beeping on his screen showed that his copilot was close, just beyond the hedge of dead trees and burnt brush.
It was an amazing sight to see. On Stasis's island, Falidad, there were wild palms and lush vegetation. The land was thick with life and sun. But here, on Humbroto, the death and decay had to be brushed away from the face. The moon was always present. The smoke stayed in the clothes, in the hair. Stasis was unfamiliar with the land, but he knew he was in Humbroto territory.
The Humbro were a vile and vicious people. They hunted Stasis's people for sport. Stasis knew he only had a few minutes before his copilot Biggs showed up on the Humbro satellites. And then it would be over for both of them. He knew he would never see his family or anyone from Falidad again if he didn't get over that hedge to Biggs and then get out of Humbro. Stasis began to sweat at the difficulty of his task. The heat and the pressure caused a drop to fall from his eyebrow. It hit the pillow lava structure with a sizzle and hiss. But the hiss continued until Stasis realized it was the Humbro. They had sent a team out to find him, and their hisses were growing louder and louder!
