I was created for an assignment - - - read story - choose paragraph - prepare 3 sketches (a stand alone - a one liner - one with more text). Then for Temi, her one liner should be further developed with the final presentation in digital form.
Temi's chosen paragraph
"Out of the unimaginable blackness
beyond the gangrenous glare of that cold flame, out of the tartarean leagues
through which that oily river rolled uncanny, unheard, and unsuspected, there
flopped rhythmically a horde of tame, trained, hybrid winged things that no
sound eye could ever wholly grasp, or sound brain ever wholly remember. They
were not altogether crows, nor moles, nor buzzards, nor ants, nor vampire bats,
nor decomposed human beings; but something I cannot and must not recall. They
flopped limply along, half with their webbed feet and half with their membranous
wings; and as they reached the throng of celebrants the cowled figures seized
and mounted them, and rode off one by one along the reaches of that unlighted
river, into pits and galleries of panic where poison springs feed frightful and
undiscoverable cataracts."
