Their Eyes

It woke up  ADJECTIVE Okechobee and the monster began to  VERB in his  PLACE . Began to  SAME AS LAST VERB and complain like a  ADJECTIVE world on a grumble. The folks in the quarters and the people in the  ADJECTIVE houses further around the shore  VERB the  ADJECTIVE lake and wondered. The people felt  ADJECTIVE but  ADJECTIVE because there were the seawalls to chain the senseless monster in his  PLACE . The folks let the people do the thinking. If the  PLACE thought themselves secure, the  PLACE needn’t worry. Their decision was already made as always. Chink up your cracks, shiver in your  ADJECTIVE  PLACE and wait on the mercy of the Lord. The bossman might have the thing stopped before   A TIME anyway. It is so easy to be hopeful in the daytime when you can see the things you  VERB on. But it was night, it stayed night. Night was  VERB across nothingness with the whole round world in his hands.
