I have had four happy days in my life, and three of them turned out to be illusions.
My friends and I make short films. We pretended to rob the Dairy Queen where our friend worked, but someone thought we were real thieves and called the cops! Soon, the cops burst in with guns drawn!
Post-apocalyptic novels tell you that in the future there is some great war. I would tell you that most cops say that it's going on right now.
