So I'm writing this story and got stuck on the part where two of my main characters arrived at this house and they hear dragging but the problem is I don't know how to describe the dragging without telling.
To anyone who has ever been dragged across the floor or heard dragging before, is it alright if I ask how it felt or the sounds produced from it?
I just need an idea to practice more showing and not telling. If you know a site that does this, I'll be. Very greatful.
