Explanation:

"The Story of an Hour" is a short story by author Kate Chopin. A terrible misunderstanding leads to the death of the main character, Mrs. Mallard. She has a heart condition that may kill her if she is scared or surprised. Thus, her own sister and a friend try to break a piece of bad news to her in the most careful way.

Richard, the friend, has found out through a newspaper that Brently Mallard, Mrs. Mallard's husband, has been killed in a railroad accident:

It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed."

After learning about his death, Mrs. Mallard feels deeply sad for a moment, but then realizes she is now free. She can do whatever she wants without worrying about justifying herself to anyone. However, Mr. Mallard is very much alive. He comes home, which is a surprise to everyone. Mrs. Mallard's heart can't take the immense disappointment of no longer being free, and she dies.

sensory details?

so i`m assuming you are writing something from a bats (the animal) point of view. if this is the case, you can use sights, sounds, feelings, and tastes.

and idk what you mean by domain, but all of the sensory details will depend on where the bat is.

a bat doesn't see color very well, so its surroundings will be dulled.

it can hear super well. so maybe it can hear the insects on the ground

feelings. you can imagine how a bat would feel from its perspective. it all depends on where it lives.

maybe it can taste the salt in the air, or smell water, or something. all of these details are completely dependent on where it is located.

hope this .
