Start writing fiction - 1.5

In your journal, write down 3 separate observations about the room you’re in right now. Try to be as accurate as possible.
Example: Floor-length silk velvet curtains cover the two sash windows. The curtains are poppy-red, but where the bright midsummer sunlight shines through them they are orange.

"Varying heights" the blueprints say. That can only be in reference to the network of fat pipes running over the ceiling. They are covered in a silvery coating, tinfoil-like in appearance. Without the intrusive pipes the ceiling would be higher than the room is wide, though the occupants of the space appreciate the contrast of the shiny material at the side of the bland institutional grey of the fittings.
