Excerpt from Two Sinners
It did - actually - seem to touch the horizon line, and the red globe suddenly bulged out on either side as if it was no real planet, but some monstrous ball of crimson blood hanging in our atmosphere, actually touching the waters of our Channel; an awful portent of some unexpected catastrophe.
Maud looked on amazed by the apparition. As instantaneously as thought flashes into being, something within this ominous ball, something, the heart of it - its nucleus - moved slowly through its flaming bulging skirts and dis appeared into the void, leaving behind it on the horizon only the empty shallow crimson husk, the wreck of the spectator's own illusion.
