       STRANGE
This is my submission for the introductory poem of :iconodysseyproject:

. . . .

NOTES

  1. I took the seizure from the Prologue, and made it sound... well... obscene1. I think this really grabs the attention.


  2. I had lots of fun with the formatting: getting each word to represent its real-life counterpart. Hence the lights hanging, rumble rumbling, the 'k' jerking , and so on and so forth.


  3. There are also a few other subtleties I must point out:

    • There's an exclamation point (outlined from jerking to strange) to suggest the danger.


    • The shrinking text (from jerking to Him) is to show the redhead weakening.


    • Leaving Him is a double entendre for the vomit leaving him (The redhead) and also leaving him (Paul) strangely changed.

1. See end of chapter 1
