Challenged
A hospital provides and upgraded menu for its patrons.
In the hospital’s lunch room, a wide array of vegetables and fruits, crab legs, lobster, steak, and caviar laid out for the workers from the janitor to the executive director. The company had a parent company on the Wilmington Stock Exchange (WiSE) that challenged DelaWhole. The Gronkton Group had been able to make it possible for the employees and patients to enjoy a premium meal. Fresh juices stood in the place of champagne and açaí and pineapple, orange and banana, and guava and berry drinks displayed for everyone.
There existed no cliques. Everyone had the chance to eat individually now.

Smartystan
Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.

The Blue Ridge Stalker
Tom had left the Ford down the way, its spark plugs finally exhausted and no mechanics for a dozen miles back through the foothills to Strossburg. No matter, he had worn his boots—almost as if he planned for this to happen. The puzzle he sought to solve emanated from the woods clinging to the slopes above; the valley behind held no mysteries.

Ok fine...
“Why are you saying that? He hates you, and she hates you worse!” “But for what right? Did I ever do anything to them? What true cause did they have for hating me and for what? Breathing? Being alive? Seriously, did I ever embarrass them publicly just to be vindictive or mean, or did I just sit there still and silent? They made it into a public court record and spectacle.”
