Evenessence fracture wizardry

Thomas Covenant felt more like a particulate in the oil rather than the oil itself. He was a mere cog on a giant gear of the Land's machine. He wished he could have abdicated his reponsibilty and returned to the machine he knew:his real world.

Properly played, the Sentence Game is a thing of challenge and beauty. I've been thinking about setting up a place where it can be played in its pure form. If I get five votes from people who want to meet the challenge of turning out sparkling entries within the laid-out guidelines, I'll do it.

backtrack dispersible spanner
