The senses: touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing
This is a short description of a hotel room to practise the use of detail.
Dubai hotel room
Walking
through the narrow doorway, you are greeted by a barrel shaped bedroom with shiny
wooden floors and a transparent curved ceiling. The first thing that attracts
your attention are the shoals of fish that glide in and out of view above you framed
by the deep dark expanse to either side. You can hear the rippling and rumbling
sounds of the heaving sea as it embraces your room. The wooden floors creak and
click as the room gently bobs up and down with the waves. There in front of you
is a bowl of mouth-watering tropical fruits pull you towards them. You take a
bite of the sweet and succulent flesh as your eyes are drawn to the wine
glasses and the nicely chilled bottle of champagne to your left. You decide to
leave opening the bottle till later, maybe on the terrace above, as you are
wary of the seemingly thin glass above. The glowing towers that stand at the
back of the room guard the watery gateway beyond the bed. Their burning silhouettes
project themselves through the curved glass where they wiggle and swim with the
fish. You reach out and stroke your hand along the silky surface by your side
feeling the movement of the room lull you into this luxury resting place. Just
then the sounds of bare feet descending on the iron ladder rungs mix into the
symphony of sounds around you and remind you that you're not alone.

Introducing a character
Sarah had seen it all and wore an expression that urged you to constantly point out all the beautiful things around you. Each attempt you made just seemed to make it worse, life had little more to offer, not even an under water hotel room could change that.
Introduce a character to your scene
Base your character on one of these emotions
Which one was it?
