"No, no, no, no" Kuroo shook his head rapidly as he stepped back from the dresser, his words shaky and almost unrecognizable as he started to tear through the room. He ripped out more dresser drawers; nothing but his clothing. He ran to the bathroom; nothing but his things. He ran to the living room towards the coffee table and TV stand; not even the photo albums and…

His breathing was short and fast and the way his eyes bulged out of his skull was reminiscent to the time my father accidentally hit a deer, but I quickly put that thought out of my head. It was different, anyway. The deer knew its fate, but this rabbit still had some fight left in him. I knew what I had to do. Wasn’t it just a moment ago I would have eaten…

Because of the vast number of stylistic choices an author must make, finding one’s style can prove problematic. When writing a piece, deciding the best device that will emphasize the message can provide the ultimate challenge for any writer, no matter their expertise.
