Just came across another spastic one in BifL:

I go around humming the Popcorn theme every time I’m in a pack of shirtless men.

Every now and again, when the orange tree wearies of its own evergreen silence, it retreats into itself—furls the root hairs, scrunches up the pith—and musters the strength to shrug off a leaf—a delicate sigh—to join the perennial hum of the universe.

Here’s an ungainly one from BifL Ch1 (I’m in the process of gutting it and I hate that type of editing.)

The Time Carriage

We were beyond 400 million years into the future, trees dying and growing around us as fast as mere moments, ice ages birthing and dying, yet we would not give up. We kept struggling with the soldiers, one of them fell once again around an ice age, I hope he died quickly, as soon it ended and ancient cities began to be built before our eyes by beings we couldn’t see due to the extreme time differential, they looked merely as beams of light, but I knew these beings were not human, we were their dinosaurs. The battle continued as the time counter was reaching the year 7 billion.
