As the knife plunged through Jane's stomach, she fell down on the floor, and landed in a supine position. While the rebels continue to raze through the city, Jane was being sent to the hospital. The nurses moved fast and quickly brought her to the operating table. The doctor examined her and realized that the knife had contained a lethal poison. She was doomed to die.

Jane's parents greived as the doctor told them the saddening news. Many deaths have been caused by the havoc the rebels created. Though they did not have any mammoth sized tanks, the city was destroyed in just a few days.

This was the third time i importuned my sister if she could help me with my homework."For the third time, no!" she replied."You have to do it yourself!". I was doing my homework at the last minute, i had lessons an hour later! Though the questions were quite simple, the time i had left was not propitious. I did not have enough time. Since my sister would not help me, i eventuated in curtailing my answers, giving sloppy work.

I had already surmised that my teacher would scold me. So i was not surprised when i was being called up. I guess last minute work can never be completed on time.

Vivian grimaced with pain as the doctor meticulously out on the cast for her. "Why are you so lax to fall into the drain?" scolded her mother. Vivian looked up at her mother. It was only the beginning of the holidays and she had a bad fall. And the doctor had announced that it would take 3 to 4 weeks to recover and because the pain was unbearable so she had to stay in the hospital for a week. "What? That means i have to be bed-ridden for a week?" she complained. "I am feeling fine now. Can i go home then?"she tried to walk to prove to them but she fell again. It was fruitless, she still had to stay in the hospital.

As she conjectured what she could do during the holidays with a fractured leg, she realised that there was nothing much to do. Vivian sighed, obviating any chances of having a fun holiday.
