My finger swiped the receiver of the flashed screen. I could sense my heart beating at the crook of my neck, it was so intense. Sweat trickled down my temples and I gulped thickly, expecting something harsh. I bent my arm to bring the device closer to my ear and gasped at the sudden vibration.
"Where the freaking hell were you? You bastard! Can't you receive my call once a day in a routine? Who passed out this time- you or your phone?" she growled from the opposite side, her voice almost ruptured my eardrum.
"I was uh out-outside for-"

His cheeks glowed rose gold like peaches with some impact of blonde pinkish tint. The gums of his buccal cavity squished a chewing gum as he walked sturdily while filling his hands inside his crowded pockets. Why crowded? Well the future will peel it as usual.
His enormous structure marched like most of the reputed highly positioned officers and his hair fluttered all over his eyes and forehead. A black mask protected half of his facial features likewise his black turtleneck through which his abs pricked themselves to dignify their forms, within the walls of the thick grey overcoat.
The roads seemed just the same as regular days. People disposing their trash, clearing the snow off their vehicles, little groups of men and women chatting, the clattering of window panes as they were dragged open, everything went on at normalcy.
