LArry was engrossed in his addictive computer game. The game presented him with many tasks to accomplish and Larry had lost all but one of his lives on this go. But to his amazement, this time he had seen the fiery dragon slain in the final scene. He glanced at his watched and gasped. He went back to his real task for the afternoon which was to compete the inlay work on the ornate furniture. He got home late that night!

1108 - ADAGE
RyAn drEw up to the office in his new Dodge sedan. He was excited to get back to work as an astrobiologist, postulating what sort of lifeforms might exist in a Formamide-based planet. (To make it clearer, Formamide is the simplest amide that exists - CH3NO.) Before the day was out he had imagined three more new life forms, giving them suitable names and life cycles. He was going to become famous and earn pots of money because of this work. He went back to his abode feeling pleased with himself. But over the next month things changed for Ryan. He started to realise that the nature of his work clashed with his beliefs in a creator God. He'd realised that the old adage "If it's too good to be true, it probably isn't true" applied to his work and his bosses expectations of him. He handed back the keys to his new car and handed in his notice and went off to Bible college to train to be a minister.

1107 - BUDDY
After William finished his education and was thinking what to do for a vocation, he had become disillusioned with all the competing disciplines and uncertain outcomes. He got quite interested in becoming a pious monk for a short while. That is, until he discovered about the early cold starts to the day, the endless walking and strict routines. Poor William was a bit of a chump without a clue. He had a lingering meal with a close buddy from school and poured out his woes. His friend suggested he trained as a journalist since he could be relied on to see through the smoke-screens politicians used to avoid the subject. This turned out to be excellent advice and before long he was in great demand.
