  2. She left at exactly 12:00 noon. She arrived at her alternate office at 12:04. Her first client was ready at 12:05 sharp, just like always. She finished 10 in those 50 minutes before she had to go back to her administrative filing job. Now, all she could think about was how surprised her co-workers would be when her book, “A view from the knees” was published next week.

  3. Our annual February “Walk the Runway for Charity” was in full prep. All 18 of us were putting the final touches on our garments and helping one another out. This year we would raise over $40,000 dollars for the kids. Now, if we could just avoid frostbite, security, and planes.

  4. Rozechvěle ji držela v rukou. Byla to vzácná kniha. Našli se jen tři výtisky a ona držela jeden v ruce. Na rukou měla samozřejmě rukavice, aby na knize nezanechala svoje otisky. Opravdu z té knihy byla nadšená. Položila ji na stolek vedle sebe.

  12. Love is scarce in this body of mine.
    So is sympathy. And so is kindness.
    The soul that lies in this tomb is empty. It writhes in pain and anguish.
    And not because it is the victim of some horrible torture.
    No.
    It is because it cannot even tolerate its own horrible existence.
    I am a heartless skeleton of a person.
    You were right.
    And if I cared, I would wish you were wrong.

    of sunshine filtered through the
    lace and frayed curtain edges

  17. The way I look, I guess you could say explains it all. Not many have this face, this hair, this body. Heck, I might even say this way of thinking. Yeah, I know I am “scarce” but at least I am not you…

  18. The gold that had once been plentiful was now reduced to a slow trickle that old men threw their luck at in dire attempts to gain the fortunes of their former hey day.

Most of the men were slumped over from battle fatigue.The groaning that came from the men they each went through the line to get their soup broth and bread showed their dismay for the same meal they have to eat for 100th time.

  25. “Come on, say it right.”

    Lyrics stuck in my head for the past three days. Don’t even want to know the play count on that song. Guess this is the opposite of scarce. I suppose I’m not in the mood for strict dictionary definitions.

  26. Scarce was the light on that night so long ago, the night with the fog, the night with the endless longing and the sea between them. The sea, the fog. Little light, little warmth. And yet, the day was coming, if only she could hang on.

  27. Scarce. Thats what I made my self when he was around. Those ocean eyes, they were avoiding mine and it killed me, chilled me to my bones. So to save some pain I stayed away and had my heart broken in silence instead of out in front of the crowd.

  30. sincerity is a scarce quality now
    friends claim what they say is the real thing,
    girls claim they pussy too good for jus a lil fling
    how can they lie in ur eyes with a str8 face,
    love’s name misused like MJ’s fame,
    like how one date can turn to a one day thing
    the rareness of the sincere trait,
    has scared away longevity,
    shortly after makin acquaintances best friends become enemies
    girlfriends disappear in the scenery
    all at ova some fake shit merely,
    like nobody knows the meaning to sincerely

    sincerely, with sincerity,
    Phil

  31. I look up at him and scowled, but he didn’t break his gaze. Finally, I sighed.
    “You win.” I muttered, falling onto the couch,
    “Why’d you give up so fast?” He asked, joining me.
    “because its a stupid reason to lose you, and men like you are scarce.”

  36. Food, water, and supplies was running scarce. The people weren’t staving yet-but they were complaining. A lot. And they were panicking. “What will we do?” How will we get more?” “Are we going to die?” Shouts and yells could be heard all across town.

  37. Everywhere you looked there was water. Whomever it was who said it was going to be scarce soon had jumped the gun. The future may be dry and barren, but now was wet and the weather changeable and wild.

  38. There’s a scarcity in all of us. We don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s a scarcity of food, of water, of love. Or maybe it’s because I don’t really remember what this word means I don’t really know what to say. Scarce. Scarce. Scarce. In all of us. Boom.

  39. Your presence is so scarce that I crave every last bit of it. Even the slightest drop of you, I will trip and fall as I run towards it. I want you. All of you. But I cannot. All I can do is wait. The only thing that isn’t scarce is time. There’s still so much time left until you come back to me.
