SLPAD 21 - of course I missed a tendril in _V._

[Michael Bailey]

“Back here Mondaugen could also see down into a kind of inner courtyard.
Sunlight, filtered through a great sandstorm far away in the desert,
bounced off an open bay window and down, too bright, as if amplified, into
the courtyard to illuminate a patch or pool of deep red. Twin tendrils of
it extended to a nearby doorway. Mondaugen shivered and stared. The
reflected sunlight vanished up a wall and into the sky.”
