July 13, 2012 -Show vs. Tell
Entry-
Beforehand, a loud thud hitting a wall
came from a wrecking ball just within earshot of where Clarity was studying at
the library….
To be shocked and jolted out of a
depressive stupor from that wrecking ball’s thud felt like my upper chest in
the form of a river dam had just been knocked away, resulting in a sea of
sloshing rain water, spilling into river water, with a torrent of fresh fallen
leaves doing a strange dance as they settled downstream… After the fact, the librarian put up a sign
that there would be nearby construction for the rest of the day.
…No more depressive state, no more
reverie, that virtual impact at the back of my chest reminded me of just how a
sudden noise in a place so silent could make me feel like I’m in the middle of
a river unleashed from an impactful, pounding thud!
