Watery_Soap

Extract from SOAPY WATER, section 7, chapter 14. "Maubaya blinked and saw, instead of a woman standing on a shore, now unpigmented streamers wavering like banners before her face and a deserted bank, her thoughts cutting through all suggestions to prompt her to track the lines, following the ribbons as her brain slowed the event, certain of something she had not yet caught.

She followed the stripes to a mass a few inches from her face, right by her side and just out of immediate sight.

She looked straight into the wide, fanatically longing pit of an eye; a pupil so vast that they looked keen to devour her.

She unfocussed, and saw the deranged elation which played a mouth, as a lesion ever expanding beyond the apparent bounds of a jaw."
