Mnemonic


[_-] Master Chief is in the [3] basement of the [-ai] high school where he comes across a 女 woman that is extremely 矮 short. How 矮 short? Well she is shorter than a 禾 grain stalk but taller than a 矢 dart. In fact, she is so 矮 short that Master Chief noticed her all too late, after he stepped on her and squished her into the cement floor. Was she a student or a teacher? Or a mystical creature. Nobody knows.
