A/N: I'm back. Aren't you glad? More help! Write a paragraph about anything in your room, preferably the first thing you see. First thing I saw? My wall, of course. The paragraph needs to include at least ten details, three of which must be metaphor, and two of which must be simile.

There are many pictures on my walls, for those who can see through the random splashes of pink paint on an off-white base. Above my door, for example, a pink splotch is actually a person on a horse galloping towards a lion (M). The left wall holds a parrot, soaring to a corner where a girl sits, her back turned to me, her posture stiff like a statue (S). There is a man behind her, his body and limbs like those of a tree (S). While he tries to talk to her, a dancer, coming through as the off white and outlined by the pink around her, loses her scarf to a strange dog on the wall opposite of the door. The dog, frozen forever on my wall, is running away from her. When viewed from a different angle, however, the scarf turns into a blurred streak as something rushes by, making the dog a mere blur in passing (M). A collage of faces and hands splatter across the right wall, a dizzying spiral of too many pictures in one place (M). Watching all of this is a dragon, who sits calmly near the corner of the fourth wall, the one with the door. His quiet smirk is a riddle, daring those who can see it to attempt an understanding of his thoughts (M).

Help?
