From a piece I'm working on right now:

"John Davis spent the rest of his life unable to escape the fetid stench of fourteen thousand rotting penguins."

And for extra credit:

"Though an accomplished explorer, master seaman, and the inventor of devices that revolutionized sailing in his time, that olfactory condition --combined with the shock of discovering his wife engaged in buggery with a man of ill-repute upon returning home from that failed voyage-- would be the quality by which he defined himself for the rest of his days."

Once D was invited to a party, beginning at 6. It was years before people stopped telling the story of him asking whether that was AM or PM.

Marikit was very pretty... golden bronze skin, long thick dark hair and looking more like a girl about to enter college than a woman about to turn 30--and you would never guess that she could kill you with less than half an effort.

With the arts of Kali, Silat, Kuntao and Sikaran all at her disposal, she was a formidable weapon.

He was the sort of man everyone felt they knew, at least, until the conversation was over. That was how I met him--I never forgot a face, but I sure couldn't place his.

He pulled himself up from the pile on the floor he had just been, and vowed to never shake hands with a dinosaur again.
