Set Piece: First Roller Coaster
Something wooshed past her. The screams of terror sounded like a gruesome death. The line was shortening rapidly. The sweet scent of cotton candy filled the air. Filled with anticipation, she sat and buckled the harness, tightly. It was her first roller coaster ride. The ride started with high speed, like a vulture diving for food. Her stomach dropped during some of the dips. She screamed. The ride was slowing down, hoping it was the end. But, it was going up, to the peak of the ride. It reached an altitude high enough to gaze upon the theme park. Bright orange lights fill up the dark sky. The late night breeze gently stroked her cheeks. She opened her eyes and saw a huge tunnel. Suddenly, she felt a drop.

I wrote a set piece in third person. It is about a girl going on a rollar coaster for the first time. This story is mainly using senses to describe the whole piece.
