The Tomb of King Tutankamen

The air is musty and old. Treasure sparkles in the gleam of my torch.
Nothing moves. Nothing speaks, as if the world never has been.
A coffin is in front of me! I shiver with excitement, and remove the lid.
Inside are the most beautiful treasures I have ever seen, from a
four-thousand-year-old scroll to a sapphire crocodile. Amidst
these riches is something, if possible, more beautiful than them all.
There in all his splendor lies King Tutankamen himself!

The Big Game

The day is just getting hot. About 50 people are in the stands, and every pair of eyes are on me. The crowd is deathly still, a hawker yells in the distance, a baby shrieks, the green grass gleams in the sunlight, the dust blows in my face. I take a deep breath and step up to bat.
