TASK: Write a creative story about surviving in the city that reveals a sense of optimism and perseverance. Limit your story to the city landscape and have a maximum of two characters. Use lots of figurative language to describe emotions so you show and not tell. Double check your spelling and punctuation. Use literary techniques such as metaphors and similes. 

Consider imagery: concrete floors, piling rubbish bins, bustling crowds, towering skyscrapers, noisy trucks, blaring alarms, intense shouting, looks of disdain
