| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The First Men In The Moon by H. G. Wells: a solar tide sends it in a perpetual flow around the lunar axis, and
strange storms and boilings and rushings of its waters occur, and at times

he could make only a poor stand. So he turned off on a trail
that appeared seldom traveled.
Soon after this move he became conscious of a further
thickening of his senses. He felt able to hold on to his saddle
for a while longer, but he was failing. Then he thought he
ought to advise Jennie, so in case she was left alone she would
have some idea of what to do.
"Jennie, I'll give out soon," he said. "No-I don't mean--what
you think. But I'll drop soon. My strength's going. If I
die--you ride back to the main trail. Hide and rest by day.
