Run For Cover





The phone chirped again, seeming possessed by a bird I couldn't exorcise. Each time it went off I experienced the primal urge to duck under shelter, afraid mockingbirds plotted to dive-bomb me with poop. They say that's good luck, which might explain how such an ordinary girl could end up with my extraordinary life. But every time that chirp-ring sounded I looked to the sky for evidence of its eminent collapse. I thought it had caved in yesterday, the ethereal debris washed away, leaving only a lingering trail of blood and permanent case of the baby blues. I thought wrong. 


**This is a snippet of fiction, hooked up with:


 BLUE (adjective)
1  : of the color blue
2  a : bluish
    b : discolored by or as if by bruising  
    c : bluish gray
3  a : low in spirits : melancholy
    b : marked by low spirits : depressing



Below are three fairly generic passive phrases. Your goal is to make them active in a short scene, either fiction or non-fiction. You can choose one, two, or all three to play with, but you only have 100 words.
  1. [he/she/I] was devastated by [...]
  2. [feeling] was experienced by [...]
  3. [person/thing] was possessed by [...]
