EXAMPLE: FOCUS ON WORD-IMAGE SENSES
Which soundscape did you choose? (highlight or underline it): Storm ambience
Type your original paragraph below:
Fog appearing, puddles splashing, the storm carried on. Everything suffered from the wetness because of the newly fallen rain. The sky turned charcoal as rain fell hurriedly out of the metallic clouds. The lighting, a yellow flash, brightened the backyard as if it were daytime. Large globs of rainwater slipped off the corners of the sopping patio furniture. Tapping above my head, drops of water struck the roof, was interrupted only by the piercing thunder booming as loud as a dinosaur's roar. I opened the window, and everything was much louder. The leaves on the trees rustled from the strong winds. Out of the window I stuck my arm. Cold drops soaked through my sleeve, gripping against my arm, causing me to shiver. The wind, breezy and cold, blew against my face. In the darkness and cold, the storm and I were one.
