Creative writing

 DO NOW: 

• Choose a place you are scared of going to: the dentist OR the doctor OR the principal OR the police.
• You have precisely 63 words to describe this experience. 
• You must use at least one short, simple sentence.
• You must use at least one complex sentence.
• You must use at least one language technique (e.g.simile, metaphor, personification, onomoatopeia)

Here is my attempt:

Cold dread filled me.  Had they narked?  Would I be dragged into their drama in the worst ever situation - a robbery?  I approached the police station doors warily, feeling like I had "guilty idiot" written on my head in neon, glowing, capital letters.

The receptionist smiled and greeted me kindly.  Then her eyes brightened.  Mine didn't.  The next door neighbour.  I was doomed.
