"LOOKIN' FOR GUNMEN IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES"
A group of police officers stood behind a sports utility vehicle with their firearms drawn. They wanted to apprehend a gunman on the loose. I stood cautiously behind them and listened to the police officer in charge describe the gunman -- he did not turn around to speak to me.
As he described the gunman, I noticed someone standing at their backsides that matched the gunman's description. I moved behind the gunman and slowly pulled him down to the ground. I alerted the police officers. They took the gunman into custody and commended my valor.

"WEDDED ORDEAL: PART II"
I attended a royal wedding. Two guards adorned in ceremonial dress lay prone on a couple of tapestries. As they lay on the floor, two young princes near the guards stood and proceeded toward the altar area.
Everyone bowed at the end of the ceremony. As the wedding party left the chappel, the guests in attendence cleared a center aisle for them by moving to the right or the left -- the guests stood on a large set of carpeted steps that facilitated the gathering area for this particular chapel.
Some guests threw rice when the wedding party continued its ascent to the front door. I took pictures at the top near the front doors with a cousin's disposable camera.
I left with my father to go to the reception. We parked at an apartment complex near the reception hall. The parking area was surrounded by a network of chain-link fence, standing about ten feet in height. I noticed a parking space that was reserved with a rope and sign.
We parked our vehicle and walked toward the reception hall.
I saw an advertisement about a bar. The bar had various liquors, complete with different sized shot glasses, some measuring several ounces in size -- one that stood out was an ornate five and a half ounce squared glass. Atop a cabinent, I noticed a few festive plastic tumblers of varying
sizes designed for putting pre-determined amounts of ice in mixed drinks.

"MERGER"
A consolidation of states within the United States of America was in order. Texas and Louisiana volunteered and became "Texiana." Their state boundaries remained separate but they functioned as one state.

"KASS... CARMEN KASS"
I met briefly with a small group. A plan was made and the group disembarked. I entered a truck in a darkened scrap yard at night. The others had left but I had no idea where I was to proceed. I drove around for awhile. I ended up in a large parking lot and
did not think there was a way out until I saw a driveway on the other side of the parking lot. The parking lot spanned the length of the large building immediately before it. I traversed the parking lot and made my way to the other street.
I walked down the street and saw two young women sunbathing on the balcony of an apartment complex. A familiar woman walked past me, greeting me by name. The young women on the balcony overheard the greeting and looked toward me. I was quietly thankful to
the woman and her greeting for getting the attention of the sunbathers.
I was in a James Bond scenerio: A bad guy had a bomb and it was up to me to stop him from carrying out his dastardly deed. I kicked the bomb away from another boxed item -- it was attached to the box prior to my kick.
The bomb was diffused and the villian was dumbstruck.
I leisurely escaped with a large box crate that became a hot air balloon. Two henchmen of the bad guy did likewise. We went through an opening in the floor, with the henchmen going first. I watched the two henchmen slowly descend to the ground; they did not
properly inflate their hot air balloon.
I glided across a snow-scaped town square in my hot air balloon. The townspeople looked up and pointed at me with awe. I released some gas into the balloon for elevation so I could clear a large building -- it looked like a museum.
I walked through a building entranceway. I saw a brief presentation about supermodel Carmen Kass as I walked into the building. It discussed several name changes as her family moved about The Baltics, starting with Kass and ending with Kass.
Carmen rode on a sailboat, smiling and giving her mom a massage. She wore a summer dress that accented her healthy, light-tanned skin.

"UNKEPT SOJOURN"
A young boy hastily rode away on a bicycle. He was content that a battered radio rested on the back of his bicycle seat with an old yet viable KISS cassette tape inside. He rode toward a small yard and dropped the bicycle on the grass.
The young boy entered a house akin to a small medieval keep. He walked down a flight of slightly-winding stone steps into a kitchen area, complete with a roaring hearth. He watched a father attend to an outfit his young son wore.
The visiting young boy decided not to stay. As he ascended the stone stairwell to the front door, he observed a helm open upon the young boy's head -- it opened like a series of overlapping sea shells, covering the head the of the young son.

"LAS VACACIONES DEL CONOCIMIENTOS"
As I walked down a sidewalk, I heard a commotion from behind. Three young women ran past me.
One walked up to my side and said she knew of me from a mutual friend.
We introduced ourselves and shook hands and continued to walk together.
She spoke of a recent trip to Mexico with her husband.
I mentioned a few vacation stories -- some good; some bad -- recounted to me of trips made to Mexico by friends and family.
We entered a screen and glass-enclosed patio, taking a step down to a wooden deck floor.
She seemed surprised that only a few people occupied the room, which seemed like a waiting room for a bus terminal.
We walked up to a ticket machine. The young woman grabbed two tickets and handed one to me.
She remembered being in this room before when the morning sunlight flooded the room, making it unbearably warm.
