The APATHY of our captive gate-herding guards was outstandingly pronounced.
One appeared to have a PREDILECTION toward a disbelief in honor of any kind.
My spiritually-advanced cellmate exuded UNEARTHLINESS when head-trounced.
Yet the gate-herders expressed no CONSTERNATION or REVERENCE to my mind.
I felt much emotion while I was ENCOMPASSED in dark cell of the mono-herd.
A tiny bit of CONDEMNATION oozed out; they had dog-ears that swiftly heard.
My cellmate had physically vanished by then, so the punishment was all mine.

Thank you Anisha. I love the contests in some ways, even if I do not place at all, it helps me to try something new.

Thank you, thank you and thank you. And what are YOU also doing up at 4:24 a.m.? Are we both having sleep deprivation issues?
