Since I am not there with you to see your panel and your story, I cannot help you to the best of my abilities. However, the best advice I can give you is to:

Show, not tell
Be descriptive, but not overly wordy
Make your verbs interesting (ex. exclaimed instead of said, slammed instead of closed)
Convey emotion!
Try to use the active voice
(In case you don't know what the active voice is, it's a way of structuring your sentence that makes it clearer, more interesting, and less redundant. For example, instead of saying "The door was closed by my mother", write "My mother closed the door".)

I hope this helps.
