What it’s like to live in Miami. . .”Give us a scene about living in Miami now. Give sounds, colors, names of place and people. Give us a year, the season, the weather. Include dialogue, setting, gestures

setting/ location
time of day,
year,
season,
gestures (people sit, stand, move),
dialogue (one line per speaker, tags;he/she said;)
