I wish I could say this thread was an impressive story I'd cooked up, but this is just where I'm posting a scrap from English class. Basically about once a week we're given prompts and have nine minutes to write a description based on the prompt. I wouldn't mind some opinions and feedback, despite how short this is. The prompt was "fast food restaurant". Spoiler Artery-Clogging Burgers It was a sweltering summer evening and the usual crowd queued up inside Grease ‘n’ Go. From outside, the place could almost be mistaken for a venue where decent meals could be obtained, but this façade was broken the second a step was taken through the double doors. The customers waited impatiently, trapped in the monotony of their junk-fuelled lives. Boards advertised supposedly healthy meals but above the dim chattering of staff members only the sizzling of a deep fry grill could be detected. A faint aroma of sweat and cooked meat lingered in the stuffy air. The queue of people shuffled forward slowly, uncaring for each other but united in their need for food. Each man and woman in turn felt their mouths water at the prospect of the artery-clogging burgers that awaited them. Small children sat at rounded tables, delighted in the free toys they had received. Their keen ears picked up on the whine of a fly struggling against a window. It alone had the sense to escape death via grease. This was a busy day, but noise was minimal; the shared urge to eat quickly and leave the sweaty prison kept the customers quiet.
