There I was, calmly [action] across [place], minding my own [object] and thinking to myself, [catchy phrase]. It's a [descriptor] start for a story such as this, and one would expect it to end in much the same way. Only it didn't. [sound]! One more step and I found myself [action] into [place], my march having been thwarted by a [descriptor] [object] lying in plain sight. "Hey," I exclaimed, [catchy phrase].

As if to answer, a [descriptor] [female] suddenly appeared before me. "My deepest apologies, sir," she stated with a [descriptor] grin on the part I suspected to be her face. "That [object] actually belongs to me, I'm afraid I was unable to prevent it from [action] and thus allowed it to escape the confines of my [object]." Dusting myself off, I noted something disingenuous about the apology, as if her [descriptor] mouth had shared nothing more than a [descriptor] lie with me. [catchy phrase], I said, "you left it there intentionally!"

Acting on a [descriptor] instinct, I reached into my [object], quickly [action] out my trusty [object]. [sound]! Within seconds, she was [action], embracing the floor with a satisfying [sound]. I had shot her right in the [object]. I looked at her [descriptor] body, now entirely motionless. In her hand, a [descriptor] piece of paper.

"I'm sorry," it read, [catchy phrase].
