| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The White Moll by Frank L. Packard: lane where she had left her clothes, and, with an injunction to
hurry, sprang into the cab.
And then for a long time she sat there with her hands tightly
clasped in her lap. Her mind, her brain, her very soul itself
seemed in chaos and turmoil. There was the Sparrow, who was safe;
and Danglar, who would move heaven and hell to get her now; and
the Adventurer, who - Her mind seemed to grope around in cycles;
it seemed to moil on and on and arrive at nothing. The Adventurer
had played the game - perhaps because he had had to; but he had
not risked that revolver shot in her stead because he had had to.
Who was he? How had he come there? How had he found her there?

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The People That Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs: whose bodies were quite hairless. The Alus are all bearded,
but among the Bo-lu the beard disappears in the women. The Sto-lu
men show a sparse beard, the Band-lu none; and there is little
hair upon the bodies of their women.
The members of the tribe showed great interest in me,
especially in my clothing, the like of which, of course, they
never had seen. They pulled and hauled upon me, and some of
them struck me; but for the most part they were not inclined
to brutality. It was only the hairier ones, who most closely
resembled the Sto-lu, who maltreated me. At last my captors led
me into a great cave in the mouth of which a fire was burning.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle: in the shade so that they scampered away in all directions.
Here was a sweet cool shadow both from the wall and from
the fair young trees and bushes, and here sat the yeomen down,
and glad enough they were to rest after their long tramp
of the morning.
"Now," quoth Robin, "I would have one of you watch and tell me when he sees
anyone coming to the church, and the one I choose shall be young David
of Doncaster. So get thee upon the wall, David, and hide beneath the woodbine
so as to keep watch."
Accordingly young David did as he was bidden, the others stretching themselves
at length upon the grass, some talking together and others sleeping.
