I chose the book "the Great Divorce" by C. S. Lewis. I love this book and you can listen to it free on YouTube (how I've enjoyed it) I love C. S. Lewis and am especially fond of his fiction. <3 If there's anything you think I can improve on in my work, or want to say your favorite C.S.L work, please let me know. <3The illustrated passage: I saw coming towards us a Ghost who carried something on his shoulder. Like all the Ghosts, he was unsubstantial, but they differed from one another as smokes differ. Some had been whitish; this one was dark and oily. What sat on his shoulder was a little red lizard, and it was twtching its tail like a whip and whispering things in his ear. As we caught sight of him he turned his head to the reptile with a snarl of impatience. "Shut up, I tell you!" he said. It wagged its tail and continued to whisper to him. He ceased snarling, and presently began to smile. Then he turned and started to limp westward, away from the mountains. "Off so soon?" said a voice. The speaker was more or less human in shape but larger than a man, and so bright that I could hardly look at him. His presence smote on my eyes and on my body too (for there was heat coming from him as well as light) like the morning sun at the beginning of a tyrannous summer day. "Yes. I'm off," said the Ghost. "Thanks for all your hospitality. But it's no good, you see. I told this little chap," (here he indicated the lizard), "that he'd have to be quiet if he came -which he insisted on doing. Of course his stuff won't do here: I realise that. But he won't stop. I shall just have to go home." "Would you like me to make him quiet?" said the flaming Spirit-an angel, as I now understood. "Of course I would," said the Ghost. "Then I will kill him," said the Angel, taking a step forward. "Oh-ah-look out! You're burning me. Keep away," said the Ghost, retreating. join list: WatercolorAndOrInk (43 subs)Mention History prevnext +57 -Favorite +Favorite Unblock User's Content Block User's Content Sub/Block Channels christianity:UploadUnblockBlockSubUnsubsubs: 231 drawing:UploadUnblockBlockSubUnsubsubs: 36 wholesome:UploadUnblockBlockSubUnsubsubs: 244
