Example 1: I Walked through the revolving door that
was 10X the size of the regular ones, It looked like it
could go on forever, never stopping. I smelt used
gum, you know the kind that little kids stick to doors
for over a month till some worker comes to clean it
up. My feet were slowly shuffling to the speed of the
cycle. I heard a multiple variety of laughter and
screams coming from a little hole that i was
surprisingly pushed through. Then i knew i was here.

stopped and the tiny red car pulled away leaving a
black screech on the road.
