Taking a Fling at Writing

I been missing my high school creative writing class lately so I'm going to try getting back to the exercises we used to do. Remember show, don't tell! haha so this is one is going to be weak sauce cuz I haven't done it in like a year. Here it goes:

She was literally just sitting there, no motion, not even a twitch. Her eyes were concentrated on an invisible object somewhere in front of her, only blinking when necessary. Her orange hair was short, angled in every direction but with a sense purpose, like every piece belonged exactly where it was. A yellow bow seemed to only balance atop the organized chaos. The color in her fixed eyes was a rare green, kind of like the inside of an avocado. I wondered what she was thinking. The subway jerked to halt and almost instantly she came back to life and ran though the open doors, only to be swallowed by the mass of people. Her color absorbed into a sea of gray. It was strangely all I could think about as I sat down at my desk.

Well that's about it for now. A couple side notes: I forgot how much I love snap bracelets. Watch/donate to the hati telethon tonight!!
