Improvise

This event never happened at least it did not happen as portrayed here, but sometimes a little tinkering with the truth can add to a story. It’s not that the changes are completely intentional but after hearing the story told several weeks ago and then only in passing, the details are somewhat foggy, but that is no problem even if the facts have faded. Improvise.

Panic

Too often panic comes suddenly, and you do not have any time to prepare for it such as a split second occurrence, for example you drop something fragile and are paralyzed momentarily because you instantly realize that there is nothing you can do to avoid its breaking.

Rite Of Passage

A rite of passage marks a transition from one level of maturity to another, for example in early tribal societies, a rite of passage might have been when a boy was considered to have become a man, when his skills were developed to a near adult level, perhaps when he first spent time in the wilderness with only his skills to enable him to survive.
