100 Words: Leaving

http://www.100wordstory.org/3982/leaving/ 

This story describes two people leaving and are both fining it hard to do so. Neither of them want to be there so one leaves. While the one left over is still packing and during this the author adds humur in saying the cat throws up on his clothes. The author tells you this in 100 words by making short sentances. Also the autor adds in an oxymoron after vomit by saying gracefully, this then makes you pause and think "How can you vomit gracefully?"

From The Cranium To The Phalanges

First there’s the cranium,

A vertebrate enclosing the brain.

Then the mandible,

A jaw-like biting organ in piercing species.

Next the clavicle,

Two slender bones forming the collar bone.

The sternum,

Bones extending along the ventral portion.

Rounded ribs,

Occurring in pairs they form the thoracic wall.

Composing the spinal column,

Vertebrae consist of a cylindrical body.

The longest, largest and strongest bone,

The femur A.K.A. the thigh bone.

Patella is next, a moveable bone.

This connects to the fibula,

Extending from the knee to ankle.

The tibia is the same.

Under the tibia is the tarsus,

Most people call this the ankle.

Between the tarsus and the toes are the metatarsi,

And the toes are called phalanges.
