Red-Tipped Growth Stages

  • Red-Tipped Child
  • Red-Tipped Juvenile
  • Red-Tipped Adult
  1. Red-Tipped Child: The merest blush.
  2. Red-Tipped Juvenile: I wouldn’t call it adolescent in the overwrought poetry sense, but rather, adolescent in the balance of being contained yet curious.
  3. Red-Tipped Adult: Plump, and deadly if so provoked.

Puddle Skimmer

  • Puddle Skimmer
  • Puddle Skimmer Jump
  • Puddle Skimmer Hover
  1. At Rest: The water was already there.
  2. Pliet: He barely grazes the surface.
  3. Hover: Like the flight of a well-creased paper airplane on a warm updraft.

Chandelier or Appendage?

  • Chandelier Sinister
  • Chandelier Ostrichy
  1. Slightly Sinister: First, imagine it incredibly tiny. Like the magnified tip of a hair of a tiny burr. Then, think of it as enormous. Big enough to recline upon, head-to-foot, a hundred times over.
  2. Ostrich-y: Boudoir-and-taxidermy-themed.
