Our house is painted a greyish-white color, like a cloud (simile), with white accents and a dark roof. In front is a small driveway leading to the garage for the two cars, a smaller yard than the back, and a small tree encircled in round bushes. Out back is a small shed for gardening supplies and other unusual outdoor supplies and a grassy yard. Behind that grows tall bushy weeds and further behind that is the highway.

The living room was fairly large, the walls a pale beige, and floors a light oak.…
