And to continue

Those hints are really helpful, thanks.

A bare, solitary window showed the iron drizzle of the world beyond and cast a dreary
grey light over the empty room. The room itself was empty apart from those papers, a bed with covers tossed hurredly over it and a raincoat hung on the back of the door. There were no personal items, no photos, no posters, not even a clock. The coat however was interesting. It was a long, grey and looked even more ancient than the carpet that barely covered the floor. Its pockets were deep and bursting. A long-since forgotten good-luck charm, a lenght of forest green twine,a packet of polo mints and the dried petals of a red rose were just a few of the items they held.

An atempt at describing the setting and hinting at the character but trying to retain the mystery?

Reading these just makes me wish that we had been able to do creative writing for my higher. I must say I like the effect you've used describing the coat after all what can you say about someone by what you find in their pockets? I'm looking forward to the next one.
