window assignment (3 extra)

Picture: Across the corridor looking through large glass windows lives in elderly woman. She sits in a large green chair as she watches a small television on the opposite side of the room. Beige carpet, beige walls, and a beige lamp surround her. Everything is beige.
Scenario 1:
The elderly woman across the shaft sits and watches her television shows like clockwork. Every evening at 9pm she sits in her green chair, remote in hand, watching her favorite television show. She never misses an evening, never changing her patter, and always alone. As she sits and watches her show she never laughs and never smiles, just blankly stares as reflections of light from the television dance across her face.
She sits and she thinks about all the years’ gone bye. How the studio apartment she moved into 50 years ago was never meant to be permanent, but a place where she would pass the time until she met her true love. She thinks of all the happiness she has missed out on, children, a husband, a family, and a life less lonely. She thinks of all the dreams she once had and never fulfilled. She thinks of how alone she is and how her life has become completely beige.
Scenario 2:
The elderly woman across the shaft sits and watches her television like clockwork. Every night at 9pm she watches a classic movie that makes you realize how amazing movies once were. Movies from the 1930’s and 1940’s, filled with Hollywood glamour and couture. As she watches the movies she thinks about all the fun her and her friends had making the films. The dresses they wore, the parties they went to, and the fact that it was the best time she ever had in her whole life.
Now that the years have gone bye, all she has are the movies. Through the movies she can see her old friends and remember all the good times. It is her favorite time of day.
