#1 I had to pull on my uniform, leave the caravan, and tiptoe down some stone steps into a deserted kitchen. I flicked on the ovens, the coffee machines, the toasters, and sliced five large loaves of bread. I filled the kettles, folded forty paper napkins into open-petalled orchids, and served breakfast.

#2 I have walked up to the lake, as I often do during my time off. Today, I have decided to take the path right around to the other side. I have to clear my throat to say, Hi. I think I nod. I turn myself sideways so as to step past him.

#3 I was 18 years old when I went for a hike in the mountains. I was hiking alone when a man came up behind me and put his binocular strap around my neck. When I turned to him, he said, A swim. That sounds nice. He then went for a swim.

#4 I could have said something to the police officer to indicate that the man was dangerous, but instead, I just told him that the man had put the strap of his binoculars around my neck. I could have said that the man had shown me some ducks on the lake, but I didn’t say anything.
