There are even more people in this toy store. The sea of people and the varying heights being the waves. The only advantage that I had was being small. Everyone else seemed like they were seven foot basketball players getting late Christmas presents for their kids. I swam under the waves and occasionally getting a breath to look for my siblings or to look at the merchandise around me.
I made my way over to the magic booth where I picked up a few tricks before everyone came to see the guy that looked like a cheesy palace guard preform. I was happy when I got back onto the subway, and when I got back to where we were staying, I thought to myself, ' its good to be alive for another day'. I ran up the three flights of stairs, plopped down onto the couch and watched NETFLIX or lights in a box as my dad calls it.
I really like the descriptions of the other patrons of the store being 7 foot tall basketball players. That gives a very clear vision of how you experienced the store.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading it again, I understand the last joke. You had three flights of stairs in your apartment?!
ReplyDeletei love how you described the "endless streets" that is exactly how i would describe it, i like the story as well
ReplyDeleteI really like the first paragraph. All that description makes me hungry
ReplyDeletehaha-I like the opening sentence. I also like how you described the waves of people-that was a really creative way to describe them.
ReplyDelete"I swam under the waves and occasionally getting a breath..." Wonderful! Really gives the reader a feel for the breathless part of the whole experience and the energy of the crowds.
