Trapped and Alone

The past two weeks we have been writing two descriptive paragraphs about what we see in the photo below. We had to use descriptive words to show not tell. I enjoyed doing this because we had to make it descriptive so the reader can make a picture in their mind. Next time I will add use more descriptive words 

In a dusty basement it is frosty, the man can see his breath and there is a gust of wind outside. He jumps as branches start crashing. Footsteps outside begin to get louder and louder, the man starts breathing heavily. Light seeps into the basement and the floorboards are creaking. The footsteps are approaching but the darkness is hiding him. As the footsteps leave, his heart beat slows down.

Trapped  the darkness of a corner, the man wonders if he will ever get out. He wonders what will happen to him if he stays there forever. As he imagines his family and friends, the door creaks and he is blinded by a light. He takes a deep breath as it as it comes closer. Unexpectedly he is no longer being blinded, he lets go of the breath and his family is there. He is being rescued and taken home.
