crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter.

It is of course entirely unfair, to grab half a sentence out of context and make with the pointy. But Lovecraft is just so ... Lovecraftian, you can do this almost anywhere; and it's the contextlessness that makes it so lovely. Penguins! Litter! Slithering!

*giggles shamefacedly and slinks back to own work, where in fact two boys have just slithered themselves, tho' without benefit of penguins*

Sorry. Couldn't help myself. :)

Not in the slightest; be proud! (I only didn't cite my source because I knew it was redundant; Lovecraft is hardwired, isn't he?)
