Write 200-250 words of descriptive prose, illustrating a character by describing any place inhabited or frequented by that character -- a room, house, garden, office, studio, etc. The character will not be present in your fictional location, so you must be able to show who they are through the objects in the room, the way it's decorated, the condition it is left in, etc.
The room dragged a dusty cold air, breathless, lifeless. Just as the neighbourhood morgue suffocated the surrounding air, the shadows of the room were equally deathly. Sunshine bakery and Mayflower botanic were blooming in prosperity. Not to mention the exuberant parades marching in unison, and Jack the postman delivering his postcards in merriment. Life was all as it was, cheerful, in Sunflower City.
The shrouded gloom of the murky, obscure room forced in an elements of melancholy and forlorn. The silence was solely dreaded; the plastered walls and half-broken windows crackled. For it was the flickering of the unstable ceiling lights that shattered the sepulchral silence. As they crisped and flickered bit by bit, the door seemed to creak on its own. There were no lights. As cold as death, the marble flooring had gradually accrued a dust fume, mushrooming itself. Nails jutted out of chairs, DIY sofas had cotton poking out from one end, forcing itself out of the seams. The morose atmospheric influences all in all contributed to the detestable stench; a sour stench, a repulsive stench of yellow air. It was saddening.
