Most readers want to be captivated by several aspects of a good story. The plot, the setting, and the characters with their emotional highs and lows. But don't neglect to bring in some extra emotion in your descriptive passages as well.
Most stories contain one or more of these: Your main character, a location where the action takes place, and perhaps an object or artifact germain to the story.
