Story

Rita and Walter were writing articles for a magazine.
They had to get it done before next Tuesday.
Rita didn’t trust Walter to get the facts right.
Once, he’d written a piece about aliens landing in Chicago.
“I’m going to get dragged down with you,” Rita said at the time.
However, neither of them had been fired.
Rita edited the section Walter had written
and then she smoked a cigarette to relax. [TEST]
Tuesday was very quickly approaching. [TEST]
