Day 5: Monotony

130: Monotony. Write a story with the following monotonous structure: short sentence (less than 8 words); long sentence (more than 16 words); very short (less than 5); long (more than 12); then repeat this pattern five times. This story should be about a character's inability to be invisible when all she wants is to observe a compelling scene taking place in front of her. I'm pairing this subject and this monotonous structure so you can see the intricate relationship between style and substance. This character's failure to go unnoticed ought to interact with the simple repetition of sentence lengths. A person like this thinks in patterns -- we all do. Find a set of patterns that mirrors the problems being faced by your characters. This exercise will be twenty sentences long. 250 words.
