The flames of hell, all in one green-eyed smile

Tiger, tiger, in the dark, thy flames shall bring destruction to all. And in the night when the smoke rises from the buildings afar, the musinites shall bring forth their praises and tributes. Their nopsic sacrifices will be heard in the cyanic heavens and we will party together for our victory today.

The images have said the truth so many times that I can barely count the occasions. It was the first one that struck me as odd. The rest, nothing but simple circumstance.

I knew then that it was magical, that the air would vibrate and ashes would be brought by the frantic, grateful souls. It was no wonder they perished. Green eyes looked at them from the dark depths of the forest.
