Clumped together, sticky and full of childhood memories.
It reminds me of a summer day riding bikes around town with other kids from around. Looking for something adventurous to do and oftentimes finding something that we weren’t supposed to do.
After we get tired of riding around the town, we stop and get an ice cold water and a few packages of gushers. First we have to make trades on different colors – so we can all have our favorite color. For me I wanted to trade so I could get all blue gushers.
Then we scarf them down. The jelly like substance pops in our mouths as we bite into the gummies. The waters clench our thirst and the gushers get stuck in our teeth.
Good on connotations. Good on the metaphor aspect, Carlie. Now try to include sensory details in your descriptions.
