Question

I need help spicing up the vocabulary in the following story (It is the very beginning of the story):

Answer 1

Darkness engulfed the most effervescent town in the area. The person held responsible for this stood atop the highest building looking at the sun in disgust. This person’s hair glimmered with kisses from the sun. His petitely slender body made him stand out in every crowd. Without giving a thought to who might see him, he waved goodbye to the sun.
“Bye bye Mr. Sun.” A large, almost animal-like, smile slipped across his lips as he witnessed the sun being devoured. Some say he’s insane. Although, he claims to be having a little fun. With the grace of a cat, he jumped from the building, landing feet first. A girl around 15 watched in awe. How can he jump off of a 50 foot building and survive, she thought to herself. When she entered her house, her siblings left with blank eyes. Nothing. Their eyes had no life! The young girl tapped on her siblings shoulders and got shunned. They had ignored her. She ran to her parents and received their terrified attention.
“What is going on?” Her parents didn’t say a word. Even they didn’t know what was happening. All they could do was open the blinds for her to see. Kids under the age of 10 were leaving their homes to go into the forest. She was frantic. Why the little ones, she pondered for a minute. Staying home wasn’t possible. Ignoring the situation was impossible. She decided to follow her siblings.
“Please, Bridget, be careful.” Bridget’s mother pleaded. With that Bridget left the house and slyly followed her siblings into the forest. Next to the forest laid a cemetery with an unnerving aura surrounding it. She hid there. An opening at the entrance to the forest revealed the guy that jumped off of that tall building. He wore normal clothing: a shirt, distressed jeans, and a pair of black converse. A lullaby began to be sung by the children. Bridget became drowsy. Her eyelids heavy with the sound of the song. She grabbed onto the gravestone in front of her, blocking that petite guy’s view of her. With the glance of his eyes, Bridget drifted off into dreamland. She felt the dreamlike grass holding her in mid air.

Thanks for tagging me. So, you want to use larger, more complicated words?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Tip: don't use too complicated words that most people would have to look up to know.

Answer 7

Example: what does efferescent (or whatever) mean?

Answer 8

effervescent*

Answer 9

vivacious and enthusiastic

Answer 10

@CuriousQuestions So could I replace the word effervescent with vehement?

Answer 11

@4everaddicted2anime If I were you, I would change it to vivacious. But it's your story so if you wish to either stick with effervescent or change it to vehement, that's alright with me.

Answer 12

Also, exhilarating could also work.

Answer 13

Thank you for your help

Answer 14
