2) describe a sound
3) describe an object
4) update the weather
5) describe a piece of clothing/ accessory
6) update the sound
7) using the object, write something about the mood of the scene
8 ) describe an action or movement using the article of clothing or accessory
9) describe a physical trait of one of the characters
10) end with a single line of dialogue

The weather is cloudy but warm no sign of the sun, the loud buzzing of a machine like the sound of metal being scrapped over concrete. He looked at the clock on the computer desk, it reflected his surroundings in the chrome face, she will be here soon.

The sun was breaking through, the day outside is warming up, time for a short sleeve shirt to be put on he liked the red checked one. The concrete had softened and the noise was now very distant, the reflection of him tapping on the computer keyboard was only accompanied by a tick tock of the clock now.

She will be here soon.

A breeze blows through the room as the door opens causing his shirt to ripple like the surface of the water being disturbed by a small pebble.

He was shy to the point of being timid and finished his journal entry getting the up the courage to turn around.  She was nearby.

He turned to see her she was reading over his shoulder she thanked him for the words and they left the building together at last.
