WRITING OBSTACLE

Using all five main senses, and any others you think are appropriate, describe a journey down into the depths of the sea.

Consider which narrative perspective you will use for this, particularly if there are non-human senses you could explore.

Drowning

Sight: My vision is blurry, as I see sea animals swim past my body. As I keep sinking down, the sunlight starts disappearing and I start to see nothing.

Hear: My ears are bubbling and I can hear the ocean water swishing around my body. Animals keep getting closer and I can hear the bubbles popping from their mouths.

Touch: I can feel the animals smooth skin as they pass between my hands. The water is pulling my body down, and grass and dirt start to cover my legs.

Taste: My mouth is filled with the salty water, and it’s flowing through my body. I can taste dirt and sand as I slowly open and close my mouth. My tongue knows this taste is wrong, and tells me to throw up but I don’t listen and continue to swallow the water.

Smell: I can’t smell a lot, when my body hit the water, it immediately rushed in my nose. Seaweed, sand, and salt are the only things that faintly come around.
