I am honestly quite bad at descriptions but this was something I wrote as an essay assignments, or examinations. In Malaysia, students of 16 and 17 are given 5 essay titles to choose from for exams. In my school, I was lucky enough to have English teachers who encouraged us to let our imaginations to run free, as long as we can keep them on the edge of their seats. This is dedicated to all of my English teachers and mentors who were not only my guide, but my source of inspiration who taught me to express myself and to create worlds with words.
