Feb 4 is for D-words and sentence
Hi writer friends,

Although Mark thought her demented to try driving there, Kate was delirious with happiness when her car made it the whole distance to her doctoral award ceremony in spite of the huge dent in the front fender from the accident.
Stephen took off his court drapery, drank the dittany wine Eloise had left him, disabled his sword by blunting the tip, chipped the diamond eye out of the dragon on its handle, and whispered "Dross," as he threw it behind the door.
