My Writerly-Ness is Contagious...a bit of Purple Prose from an Understudy

Timothy is finishing up his last week of school before finals and graduation. Tonight is his VERY long night of classes. His car is also in shop, so we text back and forth a bit about how he's getting to work and school in the a.m.

After the general festivities, I ask: "Having fun?"

The reply:

"Oh, a blast!" he said in a sarcastic voice. Timothy turned to the window with his hand on his chin , a breeze blowing his light brown hair.

....And then he woke up.


As part of Joliet Junior College's culinary arts team, Timothy just won a gold medal in the central regional competition last week in Little Rock, Arkansas. In August, he and the team will travel to Las Vegas for the national competition.
