ABC: Tendril of Anger

Wednesday is the day for our group sketch game called "Art By Committee." Each week I share an actual excerpt from a science fiction manuscript and each week you visualize it.

This week’s quote was “The old man felt a tendril of anger rising.” How many of us think of anger in terms of “tendrils?” Some of you developed the storytelling to include the source of the anger: a fly in the soup, or a high phone bill, and some used the design idea of the tendril to great artistic effect.

And the one from the original sketchbook.

Next week we have a slightly different challenge. Many years ago I gathered up a bunch of business cards that were stuck on the wall of a restaurant, and I glued them in the back of the ABC book. The game is to imagine what the owner of the business card might look like just by looking at the card.
