WRITING OBSTACLE

Describe a strong emotion without saying what it is.

You could use metaphors and creative description, or you could focus on what your senses perceive when you are feeling this emotion.

Pure Rage

I feel red hot. Like at any moment I could explode. My hands shake and I start to hyperventilate. I need to calm down but my usual deep breathing is failing me. I feel so strongly words start to fail me. This is bad because if my words leave I will lose this argument. No, no it’s more than an argument, it’s a fight. My words are my best, and only, weapon. Without them I am too vulnerable.I feel my fingers curl into fists, as though they are ready to start throwing punches. My vision is blurring at the edges and I see red. My ears feel as though they are about to pop, even though we are at the same altitude as always. I have never felt this angry before. In fact this is more than anger, it’s rage. Pure rage.
