'The whole thing was a churning soup-bowl of death-dealing monsters.'

'The firm land "island" that they were on was hardly big enough for the five of them to stand on even with extreme crowding; and the snouts and serrate mouths that broke the surface of the quicksand were murderous. The whole thing was a churning soup-bowl of death-dealing monsters.'

-R. A. Lafferty, 'Quiz Ship Loose' (1978)
