Writing Exercise #2

OK folks, this week your mission, if you choose to accept it, is observation.
Exercise:-
Look around you today as you are out and about. Pick an interesting or unusual person you see on your travels and write a paragraph describing them.
Be warned, your computer will self destruct after five seconds.

Mmm... Inkpot's school of writing. Sounds scary! :) I'd love to read your paragraph Dude if you managed to get around to writing it.

Where's your entry Valpot? I haven't been out and about til today, so I'll post my entry below.

She struggled along the footpath, her arms laden down with plastic carrier bags. Her face was gaunt; her cheeks sunken hollows, her eyes tired, her skin the colour of clotted cream. Her mouth was caved in, a sure sign that she had lost her teeth. She was bowed down with a weight greater than her shopping. My heart went out to her - cold, taking the long walk home from the shops. Then she looked up. Her eyes brightened. She smiled; the years fell away and she was beautiful again.

That's lovely Inkpot. I'm afraid I didn't see anything interesting enough to write about (I know - my writer's eye was turned off as I sat in the traffic)
