| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Island of Doctor Moreau by H. G. Wells: I stood behind Montgomery. The captain came half round,
and regarded him with the dull and solemn eyes of a drunken man.
"Wha' won't do?" he said, and added, after looking sleepily into
Montgomery's face for a minute, "Blasted Sawbones!"
With a sudden movement he shook his arm free, and after two
ineffectual attempts stuck his freckled fists into his side pockets.
"That man's a passenger," said Montgomery. "I'd advise you to keep
your hands off him."
"Go to hell!" said the captain, loudly. He suddenly turned
and staggered towards the side. "Do what I like on my own ship,"
he said.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Mucker by Edgar Rice Burroughs: her through the opening. Then Billy extended a hand to the
Frenchman, and a moment later the three stood together
outside the hut.
A dozen samurai were running toward them from around
the end of the "Palace." The jungle lay a hundred yards
across the clearing. There was no time to be lost.
"You go first with Miss Harding," cried Theriere. "I'll cover
our retreat with my revolver, following close behind you."
The mucker caught the girl in his arms, throwing her across
his shoulder. The blood from his wounds smeared her hands
and clothing.
The Mucker |
The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Cromwell by William Shakespeare: His haight of rising and his sudden fall.
Pardon the errors is all ready past,
And live in hope the best doth come at last:
My hope upon your favour doth depend,
And look to have your liking ere the end.
[Exit.]
