This is a sample description you can adapt. It's designed to hook the reader by introducing the mood and central conflicts of the story.
A low hum from a General Electric refrigerator. The geography of a water stain on the ceiling. The taste of cold tea on the back of the tongue. For one man, this is the inventory of a life suspended in time.
In a house that groans with the weight of memory, every object tells a story of neglect and quiet desperation: a disconnected rotary phone, a box of curled photographs in a closet, a splinter buried deep under the skin. As the days bleed into one another, marked only by the drip of a leaky faucet or the squeak of a loose floorboard, a silent conversation with the past unfolds.
Haunted by the ghost of a brother who escaped and the echoes of parents long gone, the narrator must navigate the landscape of his own inertia. The Geometry of Stains is a profound and moving meditation on memory, the things we choose to fix, and the pieces of ourselves we leave behind in the dust.
