Thog's Bumper New Year Masterclass. 'A bad feeling crawled up my trouser leg.' ... 'The heavy, rich scent of fresh-spilled blood filling his lungs.' ... 'The alien becomes familiar as he picks scabs from the minds of his summoners.' (all Jay Russell, Celestial Dogs, 1996)
'And the great god laughed with a terrible thin laugh that brought to mind paper cuts and the slicing of eyeballs.' (Harlan Ellison, 'Chatting with Anubis', 1995)
'Webster moved at that, lifting one aristocratic nostril.' ... 'Keepe spoke through his teeth.' ... 'Faye turned a searching gaze on Carolyn, and she upon Ophy. Jessamine gathered Bettiann with her eyes, then all of them turned their eyes on Aggie in a combined stare that had almost the force of hands laid upon her.' ... '"I don't think I'd like Albert,"' Jessamine grated between clenched teeth.' ... 'Stay where you can be reached. Each of these six words came with that razor clarity, that fiery power, cutting him through, cauterizing the cuts, leaving him afraid to move. If he moved, he'd fall into pieces, into shreds. He had to heal first, had to let his cells regenerate; otherwise he would fall on the floor in strands, like noodles.' ... 'Still, his mouth moved, Keepe surprised that it was possible to move any discrete part of himself without detaching it.' ... 'The words hung in the air like the stench of vomit.' (all Sheri S.Tepper, Gibbon's Decline and Fall, 1996)
