4 Similes

As tired as my mum after a long day of listening to me talk, talk, talk

As frightened as my brother seeing a shadow of a spider crawling up his wall

Gently like dandelions flowing through the air as you make a wish

Grey like skies after a storm on a cold winters night

Similes

As sharp as vampier fangs ready to suck blood when the clock strikes 12.

As shiny as a car when the sun passes its bonnet and glares into your eyes.

As relaxed as

Intricate like…

Burning like an innocent person in the steaming hot suna

Watches. Sense, Smell etc ....

The smell of metal wifts through my nose as the tick, tick, ticking sound runs through my mind even when there are no watches around. Watch after watch after watch the cold sensation of the metal tingles my senses.  I feel the vibration of the machine carving into the watch as it would be me. My ears turn on as if there was a switch behind them, while the sound of sparks flash before my eyes.
