A Day in the Life of Greedy

There she is, she wants money, diamonds, something worth anything and anything that's worth something. Greedy wants every male's attention, any human's praise; she "needs" anything she can get her hands on. She always hits up Generosity for cash and gets the best of Hospitality.
Greedy always takes and gives nothing in return; everything is hers in the world she looks at through those crazy eyes. Generosity and Hospitality can't help but give in. Greedy's common phrases are "Give me!" or "Mine, mine mine!" when she is around Generosity and Hospitality. Impatient and Anger always have the name "Greedy" in their mouths, shaking their fists in frustration about how selfish and needy that poor, rich girl is. "If only she could pause and realize what she already has." Common Sense says to Patient under her breath. Patient is leaning on Impatient lately because he can only take so much of Greedy, being Greedy.
She is always wanting what she can't have or more than anybody needs. That girls needs a reality check. "Didn't her mother and father teach her that material things aren't what's important?" says Caring who only wants the best for Greedy even though she's a nasty little thing. No one would ever look at Greedy with sparkling admiration; no one would have the desire to be as "great" as her! She's nothing but a needy little sucker, a rotten character, and all she does is want.
Greedy snatched up what the less fortunate did have, all for herself. She got her hands on anything she could and ended herself up in a mess of credit card debts, a house full of stuff, just stuff that she doesn't need. No friends in sight, just acquaintances that don't appreciate her one bit.
A day doesn't got by where she doesn't wrap her fingers around something insignificant to her.
A day doesn't go by where other characters don't gossip behind her back about her actions.
A day doesn't go by when Greedy isn't left at the end of the day with nothing. everything with feet is gone, they walked out on her. She's left in a house filled with countless material things and the occupied space only feels empty.

  1. I love the way you started off! I also love the way you had the names of characteristics of the characters instead of real names! The only way I think you could change is the way it ends because I think you could end so much stronger, and maybe for fun you could add a little background..Like how she became the characteristic greedy? Overall love the piece great job! :)

  2. I love how you used traits as the names of people and showed how greedy used the other triats. One suggestion I have is to get rid of the word "stuff" to strenthen the lines it is in. Thank you for sharing <3
