The Narrative- (Setting it up)

 For this exercise, you will choose different settings and write 3 short, opening descriptions that show the reader when and where the action is taking place. You will post these on your blogs. Use sensory language in your descriptions. Examples:

A ghost town in the wild old west (think old cowboy movie). A contemporary (modern-day) metropolis (big city). A medieval household. A made-up fantasy land. Aboard a vessel, such as a spaceship, in the far-off future. Or come up with your own time and place

Contains x3 Places- The time was three o'clock when John got home from class, he let his backpack slide to the carpet as he slumped into the recliner. He shuffled to the radio and put it on his favourite country station. The lyrics sung about a man losing his wife and his dog on the same day. The words stung John’s ears, and he quickly hit the power button to silence the words. His eyes burned. He thought about Allyson and wondered what she was doing. He imagined slow dancing with her to that song like they had at the school dance. His face turned pale, and he dragged himself to the kitchen and opened the cabinet to find a box of Oreos. His mind flashed back to one week earlier when she had sat with him in this very kitchen and eaten Oreos with him. He slammed the cabinet door shut with a loud thwack that sounded like a pop gun. His stomach felt hollow like a Halloween jack-o-lantern. He marched to his room and crawled into bed, hiding his head under the covers. Maybe some sleep would help him forget about the pain in his chest.
