In my english writing class we had to pic a photograph from a bunch of portraits and write a paragraph on it. this is actually not mine or anyone from my class but an old student of my teachers. even though it was a first draft i was actually very impressed. maybe its because i'd seen the photo but i dont think that matters. i really like some of the descriptions in this if not just the way it flows to describe the guy on the whole. -- Some Let Me Make You

Manuel Heredia, Prisoner

A glowing image of Jesus fills the pores on Manuel Heredia's chest. Framed by roses, harp-playing cherubs, and an unbuttoned, stained white shirt, the tattoo has long, flowing hair, a full beard of Heredia's chest hairs, and a crown of thorns. The eyes of jesus look lovingly upwards to the face of heredia. Cropped, receding black hair with occasional strands of gray and the hint of a beard from the prisoner's face. The lips of his closed mouth do not symmetrically join; his nose is crooked as well. One eye, punctuated by a raised eyebrow, is open wide. The other, with a lowered eyebrow, squints. Both stare piercingly straight ahead. From the eyes on Heredia's chest flow tears of blood. They run down his chest, trickling into a sickly light-brown, puckered scar that runs from the bottom of his chest to the top of his unbuttoned, tattered, white prisoner's pants. The scar is one of the many decorating his torso, from the tan gashes on his abdomen to the green pinpricks on his chest.
