Prompt: Picture a garbage truck collecting garbage. Write 4 sentences that make the action beautiful. Then write 4 sentences that make the action ugly. Experiment with sound here.
The rolling clatter of the truck rattling down the road every morning is a constant in our world. Without them, disgusting items would be strewn throughout yards in the ocean of grass. It is slow and everyone knows the truck. It provides a job needed but not wanted and a home to those we do not wish to have.
The stench is unbearable, the sound irritating. It is unwanted. What is worse than its clattering noise and screechy halts is when it misses the can and spews the filth in your yard. They don't stop and apologize or clean it up. They just move on thinking, whelp.
