  2. Rush in the air. Everyone with their job on their minds. The light turns green , and that's when chaos starts. The sound of horns breaks the quiet morning. People running , walking and bumping into each other. Nice skirts and ties , all dressed up , with their usual cup of coffee in their tiny cold hands. The sky is gray , due to all the smoke of the vehicles and skyscrapers , all tall , but one taller of them all.

  3. I walked in with the vast crowd inside a confined, cold, and dreary machine. An Effective device to go from one place to another. I enjoy my trip at the mall but hate relying this form of transport to go back home. The thick air feeling of awkwardness from anti-social people looming the atmosphere. Surprisingly the rocking of the train does not cause my lunch to unsettle. Somehow being here is better than a car personally. The motion always cause me to get sick and my skin to turn into a shade of gray. Slowly our bodies adjust to the slowing speed of the ride to alert the passengers their destination has come. Ultimately the final stop has come and once again walked along the crowd of people i will never know personally.

  4. I was on the train going to the mall, there were not to many people on the train this day. There was a woman in a green top and high waisted jeans and brown combat boots. she was busy reading a book. there was also this other guy behind me, he was listening to music. At one point he started to sing very loudly. I don't think he knew how loud he was being. The lady in the green top watched him for a few seconds and giggled then made eye contact with me. We both laughed quietly. He kept singing all the way to the mall, he was also getting off there. People walked in and out of the train, they would quickly glance at him and walk out or sit awkwardly until we got to their stop. Once we got to the mall the singing man turned off his music and walked in the mall.

  5. Whenever I’m going back home on the train after a long day at school people seem so dull. Its always so silent. People are spaced out in their own world minding their own business with their earphones on. Many of them look tired, impatient and even angry, maybe they are just tired from a though day at work and can't wait to get home to get some much needed rest or a nice meal.

  7. It's Monday afternoon, & people have to be places. People have to present business projects to get that raise. People have to be at the airport in an hour to pick up their beloved aunts and uncles. As you look around, the humans rushing off & on trains suddenly start looking like birds. They look like a big, flock of birds flying away because you clapped or stomped on the ground. One second, you hear sincere goodbyes that are face to face. The next second, you hear frustrated voices speaking through cellphones. The smell is awful; it always has been awful. Everyone just gets use to that dumpster scent, & only you only hear tourist say things such as, "Damn it stinks down here!". This is the only place you try to touch everything as least as possible because so many other hands probably touched it. No, an infinite amount of hands probably touched it! 4 sick people touched a railing. 2 dirty people touched that door handle. Yet this where we commute.

  9. People are all crowded with no space to breathe. Everyone is wearing their work attire. Some are standing and some are sitting down. A group of friends are chatting about all there boy troubles. Everyone’s business is heard and then there’s the people with the headphones in their ears. Once someone gets dropped off a guy runs to the open seat. We have to hold on to the metal pole or else you trample another person. You see people trying to run to try and get on before it leaves.

  10. My heart raced as sweat pour down my body as I raced through the lava like sand. My mouth felt as dry as I had just ran two back to back marathons. The sun waves burned the flesh of my body, I needed to cool off. I jumped into the cool surface of water, chills and goose bumps quickly made their way up my spine feeling like a thousand little ants crawling up my back. I skim through with no vision until I felt I could hold my breathe any longer and came up mimicking as that of a dolphin in the zoo exhibits. Continuing on with my journey walking through steaming sand, yet feeling as refreshed as I could ever be. The sun waves kept traveling heating up my body temperature, anticipating to be refreshed once again.

  11. Cluster around a small area, kids with the parents the road just keeps going without a stop, streets flashes as fast as lightning, no loud noises, no fights, no complains just streets passing by looking at houses, looking at opening fields just passing by when it comes to a stop just to gather more people it’s starts again with more tiresome moving, with the same view of what I seen before, house and opening fields. Boredom is hitting everyone, sleep is getting to everyone as well, and the only thing that could be heard is the echo of music coming from someone headsets beside me, as soon as we get to our final pause, getting off, I’m introduce with noises coming from people and cries from kids on my way out of the ride.

  12. It’s a beautiful day outside and the sun is shining bright. The girls with their colorful bikini tops and bottoms and the guys with their long trunks. Girls and guys playing volleyball and falling down on the hot sand trying not to let the ball fall to the ground. Children making sand castles and having a blast. They’re grabbing wet sand from the side of the water with their buckets and shovels. The adults laying down on their towels trying to get a tan when really they’re all getting red. A group of teenagers have their radio on blast listening to Notorious B.I.G. Security is strolling around in their carts making sure there isn’t any underage drinking. The smell of the burgers and hot dogs just has everyone buying some. Squishing your toes on the wet sand avoiding the hot side of it. The sun is setting. It’s getting late, everyone is packing up. Picking up their towels and flagging them trying to get the sand out. Most of the teenagers stayed behind and made a bonfire. It was a good day at the beach.

  13. Sitting in the back of the bus, has me observing my surroundings. Everyone seems so eager to go somewhere. Which interests me on where they may have to go. I wonder if the crying baby in the front is making her parents go to the clinic but she’s sick. Or if the lady in black clothing is boiling or actually doesn’t mind the heat on her shoulders. The guy who’s wearing shorts with a tank top and heavy boots. He seems confused. But my favorite character on this bus is the lady yelling at her phone. It sounds seriously annoying but hilarious because she keeps cursing it out. These observations are making me light headed. It’s probably the gasoline smell this bus is giving off.

  14. Walking into the station of a crowd scrambling where they need to go. All accounts of people waiting for their form of transport to come. All worried about being late because the train isn't on time. Everyone in suits and ties or nice dresses or even in jeans. Faces of anxiety and stress run on their face for those who fear being late. The smell of pollution from the trains running all over the station.

  15. People go to the mall to shop and buy things they want to own. Or even just to walk around with a bunch of their friends just to chill and hangout for awhile. They might just walk around the mall window shopping for name brand thing they might not afford at the moment like a Gucci belt or some new Jordans that just came out or even for Gold watch. Going to the mall you could also meat and see a lot of new people plus if your hungry and your at the mall don't worry your at the mall you guys could all go to the food court and pick out what you guy want to eat plus the free samples are a plus. There so many things you could do at the mall the list goes on and on if you like to shop or hangout or both the mall just might be the best spot to you could go to.

  16. It was so cold and windy, frozen finger tips reached into my purse for keys my beautiful long silky hair covering my rosey pink perfect cheeks making it hard to open the apartment door. a sign of relieve as a warm cozy feeling runs threw my body, the couch ever so fluffy and the nose tingling feeling of all types of delicious smells of dinner and as a firework wide eyes I see a nice piece of warm fat free mouth watering cherry pie. yummmm

  17. Laying in the sand, catching a tan from the sun beaming on me, listening to kids yelling and having fun. The smell of barbeques is intoxicating and all sorts of music playing rhythmically towards all directions. Looking up at the sky to see various kites with neon bright colors ranging from all shapes and sizes. The water is so refreshing and cold running down my baked body. Feeling the seaweed making contact in between my vulnerable toes, rocks and shells spiking and piercing the bottom of my feet. Youthful kids playing catch with their beach balls with every hit increasing their satisfaction. Others creating sounds of shifting sands falling from their shovels as they bury each other with a smile stretched across their very faces.

  18. The people who goes to the beach enjoy the sand, water, and air. Mostly I see kids are doing sand castle or etc. Some of the kids are really creative like making a town, building, or etc. I hear kids screaming, laughing, or etc. I see teens surfing on the waves, and swimming. The fresh air hitting your face is good and refreshing too. The beach is a good place to relax from the every stress.

  19. A group of friends went to different clothing stores to get outfits for later that day. A lot of different things makes it really hard to decide what to get and only a few hours left to get ready for that day. Things got a little complicated after an hour and a half, two of them liked the same outfit but, they didn’t refused to wear the same exact one to the party so instead they decided to get the same outfit but in different color.

  20. A hot summer day at the beach. The sand burning your feet and the air that makes you feel like you're walking through the Sahara Desert with the view of people picking their wedgies to avoid their butt from eating up their swimsuit bottoms. The little kids building sandcastles and running around playing tag while their butt cracks show. Then you have the seagulls flying around looking for food to eat. The smell of the salt water and seashells that makes it feel like summer. There's nothing like the sound of the waves crashing that makes you feel at ease, like you’re on a cloud and no one or nothing could bother you.

  21. These kids were walking around a mall. It looked like they were having a good time. One person was telling a story to the group. All you hear is loud laughing and chuckles across the mall. It can be heard from many feet away. The majority of the group was wearing all sorts of brands like Air Jordan Retro shoes, Nike, Adidas, Vans, and many more. They then went to the food court. The aroma of all the food was making the group feel like they haven't eaten in days. The group then ate all sorts of food like pizza, Chinese food, and fast food. The group walked to the lightrail and then went to their homes filled with great memories.
