Pacing down the hill I look around me, noticing that what was once a recognised walk is now changing almost before my eyes. The only part that has stayed the same is the gravel which kicks along the surface of the pavement.
As I near the end of the road I search for the bus stop, checking off another checkpoint on the imaginary map inside my head. Walking past the bus stop with the aggregate crumbling underneath my feet I check the time. Tick tock. Tick tock. The noise resounding in my head seems so vacant, as if something had to fill this time.
Passing the flats in which my brother lives i look up to the window half expecting him to be gazing out, followed by a nod or wave. Instead what I see is something from the worst nightmare hell could ever conjure up, one of my brothers plastered across the wall in blood and gore.
Sharp. Sudden. Immediately.
The best feeling in the world struck me. I was dreaming, i woke up from hell. I resented myself for letting my mind do this to me. I had been dreaming but that only opened up more questions and worries, could it happen? Will it happen?

Analysis of graphological features of Florida brochure
The first outstanding graphological feature of the brochure was the size of the pictures in relation to the text boxes, an example of this would be the picture of the tourist information centre. The purpose of this being to attract the reader, to give a visual representation of Florida.
This links to my knowledge of travel writing because in all travel brochures and postcards there is at least one picture that stands out and is a picture of a place someone has or will visit.
Another graphological feature is the directory text box. It has all the mandatory information you will need. Consulates, Tourist information and other numbers, these other numbers include the American association of retired persons and mobility international. Consulates include Australia, Canada and the UK. These numbers are for if you are in any kind of trouble in Florida. The purpose of this is so people know that they are safe in Florida.
The columns of writing are the most prominent graphological feature, this is because of the number of them, and also the titles above them, attract the reader to each one. Especially if they can relate to the title, for example if someone over 65 read this brochure they would already be looking for the 'senior citizen' column to learn about what they can do when they are in Florida.
