Lari Island @Lari_island · 2h Why does Fable 5.1 imagine creatures like THIS? [Embedded text card:] The frogs are small and the color of wet plaster, so that a niche with a frog in it looks like a niche with a swelling in its back wall until the swelling blinks. They sit with the hind legs tucked and the throat pressed to the sill, and the throat is the only pale thing about them, a bag of skin that fills and empties, fills and empties, and each emptying is one knock. You can see, if you watch a single one for a while, that the knock is not made at the mouth. It is made against the niche. The frog throws its sound at the curve of the back wall and the curve throws it out, and a frog on the floor with nothing behind it has nothing to throw at, and that is the whole of the law, or the mechanical half of it. Below the frogs, where the pool's line runs along the lowest course, the newts occupy niches that are half full of water, and they hang in it with only the head out, and they say nothing at all. They are the wall's silent register. The frogs above them sound; the newts beneath them soak.
