One Month Descriptive Writing
A white fuzzy blanket, yet solid as a rock stared back at me as I peered through my foggy window waking to the sight of snow. The miniature gray couch serving as the centerpiece of my living room seemed cozy that night. On the other hand, its rough and awkward fibers made it uncomfortable. Without heat blasting through the vent to conserve our warmth, we grew even colder. The bustling sound of the wind knocking on my window layered with dangling icicles smothering my home and the homes nearby shook me. As I began to feel the frigid temperatures of the unbearable winds seeping through the crack in the window. In my heart, I knew that the man I called my husband was off into the distance fighting the blizzard mess, going against the snow advisory …show more content…
Immediately following was a sensation in my arms and fingers that felt as though they wanted to fall off, and to top it off I couldn’t feel my face. While warming the baby’s bottle, that I heated up hot cocoa to relieve myself of my sorrows. Again, I peeked outside the window trying to dream up my husband’s return, all while pondering over the unpaid bill. The same unpaid bill that caused our present discomfort. From inside the front portion of my billfold, there money was stolen from the man that I impatiently waited to return home. Consequently, stronger my anxiety grew thinking of the money stolen from me. In fact, hearing the baby’s cries unnerved me, when she wanted additional food from only having a drop left of her formula. Not understanding quite what to do or how to feel left me frozen in a trance. My husband and I only shared one car between us, and I needed him to hurry back as quickly as he could to end our suffering. As I diverted my attention over at the clock hands spinning around, time became a figment of my imagination, it became blurry. Feverishly we suffered as the wind thrashed across the couch. While growing terrified of the unknown, we grew even colder as chills begin to trickle down our spines. On the inside, I felt devastated that I was unable to stifle the baby’s

    Again I berated myself for not checking the weather before we left. This was bad, I wondered why I hadn’t heard any warnings of the storm days before. We continued on, taking frequent breaks. The kids eyelashes were frosted white and their faces shone red under streams of melting snow. Every time we stopped I dug the bottom of my sweatshirt out from under my coat to wipe the wet off their faces.…

    “Get over”, he intoned. “How?” The man had no answer and allowed silence to rejoin the conversation. He was wrestled from his thoughts by the shattering of the silence. A loud growl came from behind them. A beast crawled from around the corner of the street. Men were shouting loud and delirious sounds, like some strange, new language. They saw the family. “Run,” the man gasped. “RUN!” They turned and fled like rats. Their derelict shoes beat against harsh grey, but they were no match for the beast that roared after them. The women’s legs, carrying both her and the young child, began to slow. The man watched as she started to fall behind. Fear struck. He could not watch the two things that he loved most in the world killed. He turned. Facing the beast. “Run,” he said in a calm voice. He ran at the beast. It roared at him. Fear led to death. His greatest compassion was death. That was the last she saw of her…

    The next night it happened again. Putting the warm dishes away in the cupboard, she turned and saw the child's grey eyes approving her movements. In the next room was the man, his chin sunk in the open collar of his favorite wool shirt. He was dozing after her good supper. The shirt was the grey of the child's trusting gaze. She began yelping without tears, retching in between. The man woke in alarm and carried her in his arms to bed. The boy followed them up the stairs, saying, "It's all right, Mommy," but this made her scream. "Mommy is sick," the father said, "go and wait for me in your room."…

Their mother had suffered a stroke, a devastating one, which claimed three-fourths of her functioning brain. She didn't want to believe it. Sitting there in the chaotic waiting room, she reflected on how different that day had turned out from her expectations of it. How sudden it all was. And how tragic.…

    Everytime I see those blinding blue eyes that my 4 year old niece has, my mind goes straight to the day before she was born. On October 30th around 4pm, my sister, who was 9 months pregnant at the time, and I are sitting on our comfy brown suede couch. The cliche screams coming from the scary movie that’s playing in the front of the room. Little did I know that in just a few minutes my heart rate would go up, but not from the movie, from the horrors of childbirth.…

    My hospital bed was ice cold and the bleak and empty white walls depressed me as the uncomforting thought that I would have to stay here for maybe another week brought tears to my eyes. The usual and oppressive smell of disinfectant lingered in the room as I recalled that night in my head, trying to convince myself it wasn’t my fault, as I had done everyday since the accident. It was the day everything changed and my life was turned upside down. Forever.…

    I woke up in the hospital, the room was stuffy and the air had a undertone of bleach. Beautiful framed pieces of art hang the wall. There were vases of flowers in the room. I look around, every surface was dustless. The nurses were unhurried, they moved with a serene peacefulness from room to room on their rounds. Above the double doors were large blue plastic signs with the area of the hospital that lie ahead. I got this overwhelming feeling of wanting to cry. Brick by brick my walls were tumbling down. The feeling punched through my empty stomach ripping through my bones, guts, and muscles. I knew Ms. Anna would be upset.…

    Rocketing across the water, the beach and sky blur into one. But in my mind everything is still, even calm in fact. My eyes dart around. I see men. Pain and panic fill their eyes. Some tremble as if catching a fever. Other soldiers clutch on to their weapons as if gripping onto their mother’s hand when learning how to walk. Some soldiers drink from their canteens, as if it’s the last drink to enter their bodies. I feel my heart race, blood pump through my veins. The Captain yells, “30 seconds! Good luck, men. May God be with you and I’ll see you on the beach!”…

    In viewing the sublime town, I move at a languid gait, despite the fact that it is midnight. The phase moon is visible as a fully illuminated disc that is encircled by shimmering stars; which creates an atmosphere that makes me feel unravel. Below this stupendous sight is a barren house that is totally in contrast to the scenery above it. The house is dark and is surrounded by white clouds; however the luminous light from the moon shines on this haunted house. Some of the windows are broken while some are cracked and filled with moulds. The roof is large and has several apertures and is falling at the seams. It lacks iridescence as it embeds only one fainted colour – grey. I quiver as the cold breeze blows, and the smell of mist fills the air and the leaves around the house arise. I am now in a state where my mind is not lucid, as I muddle whether I should return home or to continue this haphazard adventure.…

    But on this particular night, a humid night at that, there was absolutely no sound to be heard. Not even the squeal of a tyre edging around the street corner, or the cackle of an old man passing by. Feeling the aching in my wrists turn to a sharp pain, I peered down at the several plastic bags that I was holding; full of the essential shopping that I had gone out to get last minute for dinner. One of the bags (the one that was hurting my wrists) was clearly overfilled, but I couldn’t do anything about that, not now, in the middle of the street. Letting out a heavy sigh, I carried on walking, reaching carelessly into my pocket to clasp my phone. In the humidity, it felt lovely to have the cold, metal block against my hands. I pulled it out, feeling around in the darkness around me for the switch to turn it on with. I paused, under a spot in which the moonlight was beaming down upon on the road. Underneath the only source of light in the pitch black city, I checked my phone for any messages or calls that we important. There was nothing, apart from one message from my sister telling me to buy her some magazines. I hadn’t and since I had already come out of the shop and had begun my walk home, I wasn’t going to go back just for her sake. Feeling even hungrier as the time sped past, I decided that it would probably just be better to go home so that I could eat as quickly as possible. My stomach however, had other ideas. The loud rumble that came from deep inside it, suggested that I should eat preferably sooner rather than later. Ignoring it, I crouched down and scooped up my plastic shopping…

    In my mind, it was easily twice that. The quiet hum of the radio and the rain, that appeared to come from nowhere, were the only sounds to pierce the blistering silence. I gazed out the window and began allowing it to sink in. As the thought entered, tears exited, and I remained silent while I thought back to our last encounter. It was Easter Sunday and about half of my stepfather’s large brady bunch family had gathered at his sister Juliana’s house for a meal.…
