Make a story where NOTHING is told, just shown, but make it in a way where I can still understand what's going on!


Examples: 

Don't say "She just broke up with her boyfriend." 

Say: "Her heart hurt from how much she missed him." 

Don't say: "She was walking down an ally"
Say: "Her boots clicked against the concrete, as she walked past dumpsters." 


Rules: 
No sexual content.
No strong language.
There's no word count!
​​​​​​​And have fun!
