as a gigantic snake crawls
among the bones and cobwebs
that cover those who have
paid with their lives for some
unknown transgression
Striding across these remnants
is a giant of a man, red
bearded, with rippling
muscles, a bloody ate gripped
in his hand and the look of a
jungle cat in his eyes. An eerie
feeling prevades the entire

thing that makes Donadlson's
work unique is that he is able
to project throughout the en-

despair and hopelessness that
pervades Covenent's mind
