“In the moonlight the artist came to see that the mittens worn by this little man were more like the paws of an animal. It almost made sense to the artist to have thought that the little man's hands were actually paws which had only appeared to be two black mittens. Then each of the paws separated into long thin fingers that wriggled wildly in the moonlight. But they could not have been the fingers of a hand, because there were too many of them. So what appeared to be fingers could not have been fingers, just as the hands were not in fact hands nor the paws really paws - no more than they were mittens.”
― Thomas Ligotti, Teatro Grottesco

“â€�"Which‬â€� one‬â€� of‬â€� you‬â€� first?"‬â€� the‬â€� Lion‬â€� challenged.â€� "I'll‬â€� fight‬â€� you.‬â€� Both‬â€� together‬â€� if‬â€� you‬â€� want.‬â€� I'll‬â€� fight‬â€� you‬â€� onâ€� one..." He paused dramatically, raising a paw, "foot."â€� Dorothy frowned. "Why the long pause?"â€� The‬â€� Lion‬â€� glanced‬â€� at‬â€� his‬â€� paws.‬â€� "I‬â€� don’t‬â€� know—Iâ€� was‬â€� born‬â€� with‬â€� them!"â€�”
