Urban Adventures writing

Eureka Towers
As night falls across Melbourne, it is no longer dull, grey and ugly. It becomes a beautiful display of lights. As the blanket of night slowly engulfs the city, you see the first specks of light appear, slowly gaining in numbers, until they are everywhere. The only way to experience such a magnificent sight, is to be on top of the biggest tower in Melbourne, The Eureka Towers. Melbourne during the night becomes beautiful, there are so many colours, yellow, blue, red. The moving cars and the. It feels like a once in a lifetime event. To see this in the best perspective, you go on what many people would not attempt, The Edge. You get in a glass room, which is then pushed out, literally protruding from the tower itself. It is like flying, but scary at the same time, since you are more than 80 floors high. Words cannot explain the experience up in the Eureka Towers, you need to see it for yourself.

Journal Entry
This building is a large office building that looks like it is almost completely made from glass.
In the past this building would have a lot less glass, maybe even none. It would have been used as a bank, or perhaps a theatre. The streets outside wouldn't have been filled with cars and trams, but carriages, and maybe some early cars. The people would be dressed in high class and expensive clothing. High classed people would have used it, and a few lower classed people. There would not be any signs, besides a sign to name the building.

Much Ado About Nothing, Beatrice Diary

The soldiers arrived home today, oh joy. There is one, extremely annoying man that is one of them, Benedick. What a clown, he talks about absolutely nothing, and complains about how women are imperfect in every way. I honestly don't know why he exists. He shows no change from the last time I saw him. When I spoke to him I said "A bird of my tongue is better than a beast of yours". Making quite clear that I did not enjoy hearing him talk. I pray that he may not bore me to death with his constant ranting.
