a congenital defect that creates an opening between the two chambers (right and left atrium). During regular septum development in a fetus, the septum primum tissue between the left and right atria grows downward slowly creating two separate chambers and exposes a gap (ostium primum, “first opening”).

The opening and closing scenes of the short story “The South” in the book Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges have a large degree of influence on the way the reader experiences the story itself.

a strange dragon clock. The dragon begins to breathe fire on the people below it. Then you hear the words “She’s dead!” This has to be a scene from a night mare.

In the Animal Farm debate I was tasked with coming up with an opening statement as to why the revolution against Jones was worth it. I had to give a brief overview of what we were going to be discussion as a group without getting into the details too much.
