A description of the first image of the main character in the underworld:
“The place looked alternatively like the Mojave and an underwater landscape, hard to define and defying rationality. There were birds that were fish and birds again with every wingbeat or finnstroke, and then again they looked more like specters and fishbones than anything else. Prickly algae fed little serpents who seemed to be walking on a million little legs which, upon closer inspection, turned out to be ribs and the serpents nothing more that vertebrae with skulls. It looked much like the museum of a messed up imagination, everything coming with a little brass nametag. He could make out a few of the closer ones, a tall prickly plant nearby swaying in no particular breeze was called “Calgae” and if he zoomed in in a surprising fashion he couldn’t exactly define, each grain of sand was called alternatively “Surly” “Burly” or “John.” The largest creature nearby was the perfectly still skeleton of a horse that had an alltogether empty nametag hung round its neck. Perfectly still was only a matter of putting it, as it indeed didn’t move but moved the landscape around itself to make it look like a slow rhythmic travel.”
