An old, red Volkswagen
Beetle drove down between his eyes and stopped before his mouth,
forming what would be called a nose if it weren't so voluminous. Hair
seemed to grow out of his head in two symmetrical, glossy black
leaves.
It's thought that he was
born with wrinkles. And maybe a tie. Therefore, his age is incredibly
challenging to decipher, but surely he's deceptively young. He often
chuckles but never laughs. It's a hollow snickering that serves only
as an attempt to satisfy an audience. He's a people-pleaser for his
own benefit but consequently becomes increasingly impossible to like.
I love the first sentence so so much.
