Sentence: That person is tired.

Workman: Bone weary and bedraggled, he slowly stumbles to the couch and collapses into the soft, stained cushions.

Office worker: Eyes crossing and vision blurry, she shuts off the computer, the relief immediate.

Hiker: Laughing, they summit the hill, breathless, sore, and ready to rest and enjoy their hard-earned view.

Mourner: His head aches as he awakes, grief weighing heavy on his heart. Exhausted, he lacks the strength of will to rise, alone.

Dog: She drops to the cool tile floor, tongue lolling, eyes bright, panting hard as she recovers from the chase.

This was a super short one, I promise there is a longer prompt response coming in a day or two!
