Some may have been abandoned, so I cannot guarantee they will not fall apart later.

Having resolved the world-ending crisis, with the villain's head under his feet, Old Zhao smoked a cigarette and fell into deep thought. Lately, things at home have been getting weirder and weirder.

Thinking about the 12-year mortgage still to go, the nostalgic Alto that had been with me for 8 years, the gradually protruding beer belly and the slightly balding head, and the mediocre performance of the novels I wrote, a sense of melancholy for a greasy middle-aged man suddenly enveloped my heart.
