She must be dying

          Look at the picture; it is an old woman smoking in the picture. The old woman wears a large, brim, straw hat to show her face. Her frizzy grey hair is very dry, curly and short. In her face, the wrinkly skin looks like a busy city road in a Chinese rush hour; furthermore, the smoke looks like exhaust from the cars covers her busy face to the sky. Enjoyment makes her close her eyes. The patchy eye liner is on her closed eyes which make the eyes look big. The smoke looks like a cloud covering her wrinkled, pink lips. A cigarette is in her short finger nails. Masses of jewelry on her face: one blue turquoise ring, two silver rings, and two big pink flower earrings in her ears. A flower print shirt covers her body and one long necklace hangs around her neck. The big silver flowered necklace makes her neck appear skinny. Smoke makes her look too old. She sits on the chair because she has no strength to stand up. She must be dying.
