Using your senses to write

Situation to rewrite: They were walking down the street in the city Sense: Sight

Lights gleaming bright into your eyes, cars, traffic just rushing past. Large crowds rushing in and out of stores and across pedestrian crossings. Night has turned to day. Large banners up high above your head like you've shrunk ever so smaller to the world. Like an ant standing next to a human, you stare up with bright glistening eyes and forward to the adventure that awaits in the sparkling lights.

Situation to rewrite: She cuddles up to her teddy bear Sense: Touch/feel

Squeezing it tight and lying crouched under the blankets with a teddy bear. Hands running through its soft fur, rubbing round and round the ears with your thumb, that feeling like silk clothing you can never get sick of. Coming to the eyes, smooth hard plastic and a roughly furred, hard nose then tracing across the stitches of the mouth. Patting the head and feel the fur in between the fingers. Then hugging it tightly you feel it on your cheek, soft fur better than your pillow, you fall asleep.

Situation to rewrite: It was a dark and stormy night Sense: Hear

Silence feels the room as you lie in bed, on sound far in the distance you can barley make out then a soft rumble up in the sky. Wind is picking up, trees are rustling and banging against the window as the leaves skid quickly across the pane making a short light squeak. Then, a large roar moves overhead and you feel yourself shake with the ground below you. Another loud roar in anger and a thunder clapping through the sky, clearly there was a war going on up there.
