I'm really not much for similes. When you start noticing them too much, they tend to take you out of the story, at least they do for me. But there're always exceptions. They can also be thrilling, fun, unexpected, lovely, perfect. Take for example Eudora Welty ... describing an ancient collie dog - he rose from a quilt by the door and moved over the square brown rug, stiffly, like a table walking.
