WRITING OBSTACLE

In a world where people don't have all their senses until they turn 18, your protagonist wakes up on their birthday to a whole new experience.

What will the protagonist feel for the first time? How can you describe this sense as if it's never been experienced before?

Elevation

Dawn was breaking on Claras 18th birthday. Her memories were hazy from the night before, partially from the generous alcohol intake & otherwise due to her massive overhaul overnight. Something which happened to all pre-pubescent people on their 18th. Usually on this particularly special birthday, growth development would involve elevation & discoveries of the human senses however Clara seemed to have lost her most pivotal one - vision. Clara panicked. Frantically trying to piece together the segments of her not-long-gone night out. She reminisced of spiralling lights, all colours of the rainbow traversing an otherwise blackened room in a frenzied fashion. Blinks of light blurred every peculiar sight in her memory, the sort of flashes you would expect to be accompanied by tremendously con-currant bangs and cracks - however as Clara had no understandable perception of hearing, her experience was limited to radiant gleams. The taste of vodka remained potent on her tongue - evidently this was lasting from the night before but it felt different to normal. A mysterious man who had made himself well aquatinted with her had bought a vodka mixer tasting peculiarly different to anything she’d tried before. Memories of the night after this were mushed and mangled, like her intoxication had taken a far more severe turn. ‘SLAM’ A frightening sensation snapped Clara back to reality. The echo from the closing door sharply & swiftly speeded to the farthest crevices of her excited brain, an overwhelming wonder that stretched a second out to a mile. Footsteps followed. The entrancing vibrations were exponentially difficult for her to handle - but they were getting seemingly larger & more intimidating through every occurrence, striking an unknown fear. The End.
