| 1 | * The following passage is a sample of the madness. |
| 2 | -->''"I'll give you ten seconds," said Zirah. His eyes were lit with bright, childlike delight.'' |
| 3 | -->''He leaned towards Hastur, who was rapidly backing away from the enthrallment on Zirah's face.'' |
| 4 | -->''Ligur had forgotten about stealth and was fleeing, crashing through bushes and tripping over'' |
| 5 | -->''tombstones.'' |
| 6 | -->''"Run," Zirah whispered. Someone yelled behind him. None of them noticed.'' |
| 7 | -->''The figures of the two demons blurred and vanished.'' |
| 8 | -->''The problem with this Earth, Zirah thought, was that nobody ever let him relax.'' |
| 9 | -->''He followed them.'' |
| 10 | * Reading this immediately after ''Good Omens'' itself is extraordinarily disturbing, because you ''know'' that ''this isn't the way things should go; please God make it stop,'' but it doesn't stop and in this story, this is the way it goes. |
| 11 | * Most painful might be the dichotomy between Aziraphale, who insists on helping people he has to hypnotize, and Zirah, who [[SincerityMode happily kills babies.]] |
| 12 | * Zirah is completely insane. Scarily so, he almost kills a child for no other reason than the baby is crying, and he wants the baby to stop, and there is a heavy dictionary closer than a bottle of milk. He sees nothing wrong with the attempted murder, and reacts with genuine surprise when he is stopped. |
