reading challenge.  We want you to scour through your favorite pieces of
literature and give us the best 33 words you can find.

From The Time Keeper, by Mitch Albom

There was not a sound on earth.  Airplanes hung silently above runways.  Puffs of cigarette smoke remained solid around their smokers.  Phones were dead.  Screens were blank.  No one spoke.  No one breathed.
