  1. There are always consequences to any decision. These are the risks we take each and every day. What is on the line? Too often, misperceived fears guide us and we lose sight of what positive results are to ensue.

  2. She looked me in the eyes, telling me again and again that nothing bad was going to happen. That no one would step out of this with something missing.
    And I believed her.
    I believed her until she left me.
    And then I missed her.
    And then she was no more.
    With her was my heart, broken and torn from my chest, that was what I was missing, too.

  9. Hmmm. Well, what ensues from a given situatioN? I think panic ensues when there’s a school shooter. I think joy ensues (usually) when someone is pregnant. I think that agner ensues when kids don’t get the grades they want. Ensue is interesting–wy teh relation to “sue”? Doe stha tmean follow? I like it; an interesting word. It would be neat to write a sory about a woman named Sue.

  10. I had dream we shared a hug, but then we lingered
    Drew closer, and our heightened proximity led to a kiss
    The emotion that colored those silent moments —
    It was always love that ensued, despite everything that shouldn’t be
    It goes beyond simple attraction, or so it has always felt to me
    But that was just a dream
    And the reality is hard truth
    Because there are never soft landings
    In matters such as these

  11. I ensue all this guilt upon myself. For the most ridiculous reasons out there. There is nothing that is stopping me from being Evan Berger, except my confidence. There is only one person I can blame for ensuing this guilt on me, and that is my mother…

  12. Silence, nervousness, and frustration ensued after the close call. We were interrupted and almost caught in the act, yet it was so thrilling. I could almost hear our hearts thumping furiously as we fumbled with our phones to pretend we were just hanging out. I swear we were mentally laughing at ourselves for the fails.

    Some would call this youth, some would call this foolishness. I call it love.

  13. The pain ensues
    no sign of stopping
    Awareness day means nothing. We don’t need awareness, we need a cure. Make the pain stop. Plenty of people are aware, but no one offers help.

  14. ensue! ensue! what will ensue from this? Maybe nothing! i am panicking, this is so public. It’s a good verb though, full of promise of something that will happen soon, next, sometime, maybe now! Is this sixty seconds yet? When will the end ensue? Jane, stop this crazy thing!

  15. There was no time to time to think. I knew what I needed to do. I could feel the cold wind and sharp run against my scarred face. I wasn’t afraid this time. I knew what I needed to do.

  16. On the battlefield, love ensued. Wasn’t that what it was? People drove sharp implements into each other and blood, the liquid of passion, spurted out, a flowering red. Soldiers bellowed, passionately, and then were silenced, by peaceful sleep. And when it was all over you could see the ravages of love, thousands of bodies littering the ground, vultures attracted to the stench welling up like a warm thermal.

  17. we are at war again. his words ring in my ear as the bombs drop around me. “chin up, don’t look back, keep your eyes on them.” and for just a fleeting moment, the cuts on my arms seem to dissolve into thin air, and i can finally ignore the pulsating red sky.

  18. I had this word yesterday, but that’s okay. A bugged bugbear bites your brow. Hilarity ensues. You’ll have to put a bandage on it, but your dad took all the bandages and used them for his sculpture for the Annual Medical Object Sculpture Conference.

  19. The first blow rang out, steel on steel, and after a second of silence, the battle ensued. Metal screeched against itself as sword met ax, ax met halberd, and shields bashed together. The cries of the dying joined it before too long, and tin the end, all sat silent. One man standing.

  20. “And panic ensued”. This is how I think of the word. You could replace “panic” with practically any word that could ensue, and it would be fine.

  21. After dragons gorge on our guts, our armored legs strewn around like chicken bones, there comes the ensuing torchwork–a dozen rallied dragons making elaborate burnt labyrinths of our castle, our homes, our farms. My sword far behind me, along with my arm, I marvel into bloodied mud that no one has managed to decipher the pattern. Til now. It makes so much sense to my drooping eyes… Of course, a story, a moral… The ending right before us…

  26. The world was a blank grey. It could envelop the total sky in its cloud as it swirled high above the ground. Two pairs of light blue eyes made their way up to stare at the oncoming storm.

He could see the other army gathering and knew, that this was the end.

  30. The driving forces of the calamity had yet to be known. All that was known was the grotesque yoga horror displaying bodies in ever more encompassing patterns. The stoic dance of dreary dreamers. Society as the graveyard of creative venture, ensues insanity. At least.

  33. The wind blows back our hair while the sun gently sets in the sky.

    Who knows what’s going to come next? And who cares? We’re just standing here, not worrying about it, and we feel perfectly fine.

    We don’t care about the future in this moment in time. We just want to make the moment last as long as possible.

  34. Please ensure that your attitude is appropriate in the public. I don’t want to receive anymore complains from your relatives or friends.

Go into your room!

    and what does completely mean?

  40. things start to ensue when things go wrong. I’ve never really heard ensue written in a positive light. It could be though.
    “Well, he bought me dinner, we had fun, and then we went to my apartment and hot things ensued.”
    No one would ever talk like that though.
