cardboard

1 We watched Arul dive off a rock, his heels kicking an old cardboard carton that bobbed past.

2 Not cheap cardboard gravestones, but full-on motorized zombies that creep across the driveway by themselves.

3 We’ve made the walls out of huge sheets of cardboard and painted on the bamboo patterns.

4 But the only thing in the living room is debris: price tags from all the gifts they’ve packed for their relatives, plastic hangers, cardboard from shirts.

5 When he pulled his hand from the brown cardboard, he wasn't holding no electric blue dopeness.

6 A man was holding up a pair of rusty scales, weighing some cardboard.

7 I sat down at the small wooden table next to the stove, the shaky tabletop stabilized by pieces of cardboard stuck under the legs.

8 My mother had a set, kept at the back of the hall cupboard, with the Christmas tree decorations in their cardboard boxes.

9 Those little cardboard boxes of juice that I had always, just once, wanted to try.

10 There was an opening big enough for the door and one person, but the rest of the room was nothing but cardboard.

11 Paula rustled around in her box as if looking for a way out of her boring cardboard prison.

12 We then covered it with cardboard and hung a sign that read GOLDFISH, 5₵ EACH.

13 He typically works late into his evenings, and on most of his weekends, drawing designs on the computer, drafting plans, writing specifications, building Styrofoam and cardboard models to scale.

14 The engineers are figuring out how to arrange the cardboard dividers inside our tomb to make chambers.

15 “I’ll need to get some foam for that bottom...and maybe cardboard for the crocodile head...”

16 He gave the stack of cardboards a solid-sounding double tap on the desk surface, as one taps a deck of cards, then dropped the stack back into the bottom drawer and closed the drawer.

17 I swallow what feels like a giant chunk of cardboard lodged in my throat.

18 I waited while he went down in the basement and returned with my chemicals in a cardboard box.

19 A cardboard sign in Turkish and Arabic is stuck inside the door: No Syrians.

20 Paintings, drawings, pottery; all sorts of “sculptures” made from whatever was the craze of the day—bashed-up cans, maybe, or bottle tops stuck onto cardboard.
