Similes

Simile #1: Whenever he thought of her, his heart started to pound like a jackhammer. Fortunately for him, unlike a jackhammer, his heart did not break him into little pieces as it pounded.

Simile #2: They saw each other for the first time as they passed in the crosswalk, and it was like time had stopped, but only for them, because the longer they continued to stand in the road, the angrier the drivers who were kept waiting became.

Simile #3: Their hands found each other, and their fingers interlocked like ten little pigs that had tried to run through a fence and gotten stuck.

Simile #4: It's over. With those two words his world was crushed as badly as the cat he had accidentally run over earlier that week.

Simile #5: Cathy's love for John was as strong as old velcro that doesn't really work anymore. The more she thought about it, the more she figured she had better find someone else.
