Storm Descriptive Writing
Her heels, two sizes too small, clack as she walks down the narrow street. The long journey has taken a toll on her feet. Loud cries throb in the mind as her feet beg her to take her shoes off, the backs of them rub against her heels. Tall buildings like giants, tower above, fingertips brushing the pitch-black sky. The moon, a frozen sun, creating dancing shadows like a puppeteer. Her shadow, tall and slender, portrayed before her making her aware of her bad posture. The taste of the coldness of the night along with her overused perfume settle on her tongue. Icy swirls climb to the sky as she lets out a frustrated sigh. The wind pushes her along, causing the buildings to creek and groan with her. A shiver runs down her spine as the wind attacks her warm skin. She pulls her …show more content…

She attempts to tie her hair behind her head with a non-existent hair tie, only to let go and allow the storm rage on. She suddenly becomes aware of the soft sound of a radio coming from inside the building. The soft music takes her back to that unwanted place. Wanting to get away, she fastens her pace. Pretty icy swirls turn into short puffs of smoke as she rushes forward. Begging now for her to slow down, her feet create more pain trying to control her mind. Telling herself to ignore the pain, she begins jogging. A wave of sadness crashes over, forcing her to a complete stop. Admitting defeat, she slips off her heels and checks the damage on her feet. The blisters sting as the cold air attacks them. The wave of sadness looms over her like a storm cloud as looks at the dreaded corner. She begins to hum, a sweet song that evokes comforting memories of the past. The coldness no longer affects her, she is numb to all feeling. Loud squelching sounds are created by her bare feet as the freezing concrete turns into muddy grass. A cold shiver is sent from her feet all the way up her

    It was a cold winter day in the town of Budville. The sky was a leaden grey, heavy with snow. The ground was blanketed in a thick layer of frost, sparkling like countless diamonds under the dim light of the morning sun. Maria, a young girl of ten or eleven, trudged through the snow, her breath forming tiny white clouds in front of her face. She wore a thick fur coat and mittens, her scarf wrapped tightly around her neck to protect her from the bitter cold.…

    Sally just shrugged as they were trudging through the muddy, rainy, and crowded streets with wet coats. Everything was obscure, the gutters were filled with dirty water. Their drenched feet and boots whined as they stepped on the cemented sidewalk.Their bodies had gave up on providing heat and presented to the atmosphere’s harsh temperatures. The small droplets upon their face chilled their skin and faintly glowed due to the foggy streetlights. The wind howled and echoed into their ears while the rain pattered down upon the ground .The water flowed down along the sidewalk flooding the drain system. The cars zoomed by so fast that the puddles splashed like a tsunami. With only the streetlights providing illumination along the street, the road…

    As soon as she pulled onto the highway, the lightning flashed across the sky and she knew it would start raining soon. Ruth was unfamiliar with the curvy roads, and slowed down when the rain started forming a lake on the road in front of her, making it difficult for her to see the lines on the highway. Dark clouds hung slightly above the road and the sounds of rain beating against the car bothered her. “Perhaps I shouldn’t have chosen this day to ghost hunting,” she said as the inside windows fogged over, turning on the defroster she calmed down and sang along with the radio.…

    Everything was silent at first, as are most moment’s right before a major storm. People were roaming around, minding their own business and going about their days like nothing was wrong. It was quite clear most were trying to rush to get everything accomplished before the downpour, but no one knew how soon it would happen. Suddenly, as young eyes searched around the area for a treat for being a good boy during the trip, the wind suddenly picked up. Papers and leaves blew about, some flying in front of his face. This caused him to let go of the hand he was holding onto so he could rub at his eyes. He heard a voice, but the wind was too loud for him to hear over.…

    A storm brews above. People escape the beach, quickly grabbing their possessions as rain spits down on them. Music from cafes and fare rides come to a halt as their customers quickly disappear and the happy sounds of laughter echo around the empty beach. A gloomy shadow descends over the sea. Feeble light from the few surviving streetlights and lanterns appear to dim as the dark clouds move across the sky like a creeping panther. Birds silence their song and flee to safer places. Sandcastles with small motes, which surrounded them, are now filled with seawater. Any last remaining footsteps disappear and are quickly buried beneath the sand. The wind teases the scattered rubbish… picking it up then quickly releasing it again. People shelter in cars waiting for the storm to pass…their windscreen wipers furiously fighting against the increasingly powerful rain. Waves rage upon the sand, sending sand back and forth as they go. They crash against the sea wall, shooting upwards and spraying the abandoned cafes and shops. Yachts begin to rock with the waves; they are like a gymnast balancing on a beam about to fall any second. The pier fights against the drowning waves as they attempt to bring it under the surface. Trees surrender at the battering wind, forcing leaves and branches to be torn off their trunks. A bird-usually so in control of its own destiny-fights the beast as it toys with it playfully.…

    Frown sinking to worry. Forgetting all fears of darkness, the clicking of heels reaches the boy’s side. This woman’s smile calming, light, voice lulling. She's careful not to startle him as she brings him securely to her chest. Her once spotless outfit washing in the mud-stained concrete. Meanwhile, a spark has grown in the boy’s eye. This stranger matching visions of guardians in his past. His weak body comes alive, a flash of silver brightens the street. The boy shoots up. A jagged silver strip tearing the woman's cloth. Her heart halting - mid beat failing. Gone is this privileged girl an empty shell in her place. Organs once keeping her inside now dangling on the street. Cackling breaks the mist. Excited hands fiddling with the tan coloured skin, mouth straining so unused to his smile. So our scene can now fade on the platted strings of flesh, the boy having gained one tiny spot of enjoyment…

    The familiar echo of fast paced foots steps approached, my eyes low with my hood on. The ground was damp and cold, the setting sun futile as a source of warmth in comparison to the wind which chopped at my cheeks like jagged knives, my clothing insufficient on the freezing July evening. I distinguished the walk as that of 2 females, my daily routine improving my clarity when listening to passers by. I’d become accustomed to the city life, the familiar smell of freshly roasted coffee beans, the jingle of bakery and butcher bells as they open their doors at the crack of dawn, signaling the start of a new day.…
