Three shots like thunderclaps rang out from surround speakers in the basement rec room. A white controller jumped in Reid Andersons hand each time he squeezed the trigger. Tactile feedback. A speaker in the controller made snapping sounds like the action of a pistol. Reid felt this more than he heard it. The shots made his ears ring.
Teen Idol
By Meg Cabot
I witnessed the kidnapping of Betty Ann Mulvaney. Well, me and the twenty-three other people in first period Latin class at Clayton High School (student population 1,200). Unlike everybody else, however, I actually did something to try and stop it. Well, sort of. I went, Kurt, what are you doing? Kurt just rolled his eyes. He was all, Relax, Jen. Its a joke, okay?
Understood Betsy
By Dorothy Canfield
Aunt Harriet never meant to say any of this when Elizabeth Ann could hear, but the little girls ears were as sharp as little girls ears always are, and long before she was nine, she knew all about the opinion Aunt Harriet had of the Putneys. She did not know, to be sure, what chores were, but she took it confidently from Aunt Harriets voice that they were something very, very dreadful.
I Am Number Four
By Pittacus Lore
The man brings his legs over the front of the cot when the shake starts again. A longer, firmer shake, and another crash, this time closer. The man gets to his feet and walks slowly to the door. Silence. The boy sits up. No, the man whispers, and in that instant the blade of a sword, long and gleaming, made of a shining white metal that is not found on Earth, comes through the door and sinks deeply into the mans chest.

Glinda of Oz
By Frank L. Baum Ozma took the arm of her hostess, but Dorothy lagged behind. When at last she rejoined Glinda and Ozma in the hall, she found them talking earnestly about the condition of the people, and how to make them more happy and contented although they were already the happiest and most contented folks in all the world. This interested Ozma, of course, but it didnt interest Dorothy very much, so the little girl ran over to the big table on which was lying open Glindas Great Book of Records.
Eragon (Inheritance)
By Christopher Paolini Eragon knelt in a bed of trampled reed grass and scanned the tracks with a practiced eye. The prints told him that the deer had been in the meadow only a half hour before. Soon they would bed down. His target, a small doe with a pronounced limp in her left forefoot, was still in the herd. He was amazed she had made it so far without a wolf or a bear catching her.
