This was a great prompt sentence which I was able to make some pretty cool stories around (if I may say so myself). I wrote 5 different versions before deciding on one. Can't wait to see the results!

For example, "quickly walked" turns into "jogged" or "ran," "quietly spoke" turns into "muttered" or "whispered.")
