12 Attempts At Expressing Scale

I’m going into town tomorrow, so there will only be one post. Not so different from today, just all at once.

Who am I kidding 10 ideas a day, that’s the least I can do.

  1. Look over the mountains and you might see it.
  2. Past the mountains in the lands, we were humanity dwells unnoticed by the greater beasts within.
    (Ack I need to work on this one some more, that’s why editor, I’m never satisfied with the first line that comes out. Yet this entire blog is still an act of compromise, or maybe practice.)
  3. I looked up, and up, then I looked up some more.
  4. We heard a great pounding the earth shook, but while all that was going on, our prey fled from within a bush I swear I looked in three times.
  5. Let’s see those pearly whites. Open wide! Okay, not that wide we don’t want to scare the birds away.
  6. Huge and imposing, it looked up at us and trembled.
    You think you were imposing, it must have thought on know these big bumbling giants are going to fall over and crush me.
  7. Tossing and turning the valley its bed, a bit more and we’d all be dead.
  8. Slowly it walked, and yet we could not build and distance.
    We were like ants to it and our only hope would be that we’d be too irritating to deal with.
  9. He stood a full foot taller than me, but that’s not saying much, I’m kinda short.
  10. We were like ants, and the machine our construction. It may have taken us generations to make, but it would sustain our culture for generations more.
  11. I’m not kidding it was this big! That big? Yes, don’t roll your eyes you’d have run away as well.
    From a little kitten, who’re ya kidding.
    “Kids these days that disrispect’ll be the end of them.”
  12. And after a years’ worth of digging, we weren’t even halfway through.
