Anyone have any feedback for me?
Im trying to write different scenes that might popup instead of writing from start to finish. Is that a good idea?
Mostly its just for practice, but i think itll be useful in the future as an outline.

You have way too many "noun did x" sentences next to each other. Thrown in some metaphors, similes, hyperboles, random syntax changes, etc
You should also have the characters "play with the setting" in the conversation.
>Although the old man tore open the condom packet, a dark bathroom wasn't a place Amelia wanted to have sex; perhaps she could convince the old man to use the living room.

There we get a sense of setting where a room has a bathroom connected to it, there's a condom packet open, and we can infer it's nighttime.
