    It was a cold winter night; the moon had emerged from its cave gleaming out. I had just got off the bumpiest and jolty ride that I had ever been on. I slowly walked to my dorm with a sluggish movement as my head was aching and stomach was swirling. I trotted on, when I got there I slowly opened the door so subtly you couldn’t hear a creak.
