Setting

Setting: Glendale Galleria


For my setting I visited the Glendale Galleria in Los Angeles.
Here are my sensory details:

I hear the car slowly come to a halt.
I hear the automatic doors squeak open as my family stomps in.
I hear the loud booming of voices talking as I walk in.
I hear the soft foot steps of people walking by on the rough rug.
I hear the crackling of store bags as they are being moved step by step.

I smell the baking of cheese pizza in the oven.
I smell the sweet orange chicken staying warm under the hot heat lamp.
I smell the intriguing flower perfume of a skinny lady passing by.
I smell crispy fries cooking in the hot corn oil at BK.
I smell the retched odder of a dirty bum asking for money.

I feel the cool wind of the AC hitting my face.
I feel the rug creating friction on my old shoes as I walk.
I touched the cold clear windows covering an expensive product.
I touched the soft cotton-like new T-shirt that by brother got.
I feel my tummy rumble as I got hungry for burgers.

I see the rough brown tile that the galleria is made of.
I see a bunch of people walking in and out of stores buying merchandise.
I see my tall brother walking at a fast paste to the skate shop.
I see my sister looking at a lot of bright color shoes.
I see my parents hugging in back of us as we see all the big stores.

I taste the cold refreshing cola as I drink it.
I taste the bitter onions as I bite into my warm burger.
I taste the hot salty golden fries as I eat them.
I taste the fresh crunchy red tomatoes slices.
I taste the foul polluted gray air as a buss passes by.
