Winning Similes and Metaphors.

Enjoy these examples from Sharp Objects, a dark novel by Gillian Flynn:

I fell asleep, accidentally and hard at nine o’clcok, woke to an angry sun at seven the next moring.

John’s face, despite a night of drinking and very little sleep, was like a petal.

My mother’s pigs were pricked with chemicals till they plumped and reddened like squirting cherries, till their legs couldn’t support their juicy girth.
