Nursing homes

[dmfew6599]

I was thinking about writing a story about fictional people (based on people who live in my grandpa's nursing home) a fiction account of the lives through the eyes of a visitor.

Any suggestions?    

I will post a little of how I want it to go this is not the beginning or the end probably somewhere in the middle.

I enter through the looked door of Poinsetta Wing.  I see my friend Mandy sitting in her wheelchair.  "How are you?"  Mandy looks at me through those haunting blue eyes, finally she says " pretty good".  Silence feels the air.  I turn to make my way down the hall, "are you going without me".  I said "of course not.  Where shall we go?"  "Let's go to the living room and have some tea?"  Of course there is not tea, living room, and Mandy shares this place with many other people.  She can get very angry if she feels you have been in her house to long. 

 

This is a very rough

um... you can write it in various formats, say... a diary style, or a story style, choosing either first or third person. Also, if you made the sentences a bit longer, expressing the feelings and thoughts of the characters, that would make the story more substantial.

you can start with your main character (the visitor), start by describing her initial feelings when she first visited the nursing home.... what she felt as she walked down the corridor, how she reacted to the atmosphere and the people she met.
