Cue: Describe someone with a different look.
“Sara Lou Ann walked slowly toward us leaning on her bright silver walker. Her body looked like a social studies map with blue veins running all over. Her limp pale skin jiggled with every step. With baby blue eyes, she took in the scene and started to give us her one-of-a-kind smile. But when her thin lips moved apart, her dentures plopped out.”
-- Alyssa Gregory
Cue: Describe a face aging in an interesting way.
“His wrinkles seemed to cover his forehead making it look like a choppy lake that had encountered high winds. The old man’s eyes drooped with years of sorrow that turned into 100-pound weights. Although his cheeks sagged like the worst frown in the world, he was still able to give a smile.”
-- Dawson Leatherman
Cue: Describe a girl and her friend using an animal comparison.
“I’m a fat guy, long black hair and big ears with eyes like a Great Dane. On the other hand, my best friend’s nickname is tiny -- blonde hair, green eyes, and teeth like a chipmunk.”
-- Mollie McCann
Cue: Describe someone in a mirror.
“’Who am I?’ said a young voice in the stadium window. ‘Why am I here? Why am I alive?’ she said again. Her shoulder-length wavy hair brushed her blush cheek. She just stood there talking to herself.”
-- Ouida Nash
Cue: Describe someone looking in a mirror.
“The war-torn veteran peered out of his painful eye, with a bullet scar sealing his other one shut. Scars riddled his face like bits and pieces of a puzzle.”
-- Paul Sears
Cue: Describe someone’s mouth as it changes during the day.
“While going on throughout the day with a wide-stretched smile all the way across his face, Ethan was happy. He really got riled when he got War Heads to eat. His mouth watered, and then “Bam” the sourness had touched his bright-pink lips and they pursed.”
-- Ashley Strother
Cue: Describe a face from the top down, the bottom up, or from side to side.
“Looking at her reflection, she lifts up a strip of her long blonde hair, seeing a lot of blood that is dry and wet, a big bruise on her forehead with dark purple-reddish polka-dotted blood on the bruise, tears streaming down her dark black eye as it hurts to blink. The left ear has part of it missing from the broken-beer bottle hitting her and slicing a piece off. Her slit lips sting while the blood sits in the cracks. She looks at her purple-tipped chin, cries, and wants to pass.”
-- Christy Tatum
Cue: Describe an attractive guy.
“He stared at me with his dark-brown eyes softened with a glimmer and that look he always got. My heart raced as he leaned in and kissed my forehead. Out of habit, I reached up to his bed-head hair and smothered out the most rebellious mat. His crooked smile revealed the dimples on his cheeks. I ran a finger against the scruff on his jaw line before my hand rested on his rough, gentle hand.”
