In the land of spice and sand mixed young lads had their eyes on worms transfixed; if you caught one and rode its back the other would herald you a jack. A jack of distinction would ride giant worms which would leave beneath the surface unchurned; and give birth to batches of segmented delights with pointy teeth and voracious appetite. Tiny being a word relative to the holder young lads would fain catch one when bolder, in water they would drown their squirmy prize its liquid exuded would surprise effects exercise. Or exorcise surprising defects any season for effects become defective for a reason; villagers drinking tainted water extracted would wander senselessly, their attention distracted.

Martin - I am not a big Dune fan, but I have seen parts of the movie. The ending I've seen a few times, when they are riding the big worms for the final attack. Well done. Dave |

Dave, Be surprised at all the inspiration one can get from a good read or a good film. |
