Just a quickie today.

The English language may be viewed as a tool. In skilled hands it is capable of engaging our interest and imagination. Case in point:

"I think I loved you then — the thought of you still triggers a sinking in my chest, as if my heart is riding a tiny roller coaster built for hamsters and garden gnomes."

Your assignment for the weekend, dear readers, is to contribute either the best or the worst sentences you've come across.
