Lukeman Exercise Part One | Kaytlen Bennett

It was the typical suburbia. Identical houses on a perfectly straight road. Neat little lawns with one tree in front left corner. Perpendicular driveways that pulled up into two car garages, all white. A white fence between each house. They called it Tranquility Meadows. Every morning the Duroville Examiner would arrive at exactly 6:30 and would be greeted by the men on their way to work, each in their compact cars.


I tried writing this first little bit all in fairly short sentences to kind of give it that crisp feel that I wanted almost robotic. It was tough shortening sentences that why the last one is longer and the paragraph is short. It didn't really interfere with my creative freedom I actually think it kind of enhanced it. I really like this style even though it is very difficult.
