Real authors' word choice:
"That's not what I meant," Chuck said, his voice completely devoid of cheer. It was low and bleak, almost a mumble."
-Maze Runner, by James Dashner " The next day was a precise copy of the one before: the sun and the heat and, worst of all to Salva's mind, a landscape that was utterly unchanged." -A Long Walk to Water, by Linda Sue Park "I moved back into the shadows beneath the tall maples in front of the library. I didn't move. That's how packs detect you. You move, they see you out of the corners of their beady yellow eyes, and then they swarm for the kill." -Okay for Now, by Gary D. Schmidt "...on the further side of which there rose another ridge, much lower, its edge notched and jagged with crags like fangs that stood out black against the red light behind them...Far beyond it, but almost straight ahead, across a wide lake of darkness dotted with tiny fires, there was a great burning glow, and from it rose in huge columns a swirling smoke, dusky red at the roots, black above where it merged into the billowing canopy that roofed in all the accursed land." -Return of the King, by J.R.R. Tolkien |
