SPIDER-LEGGED FLOPPER

SPIDER-LEGGED FLOPPER

“Storch stared out over the army of creatures that fluttered, staggered, stumbled, stood and slowly shook his head, still smiling. —Well, some the walkers and floppers come from Old Mother Storch. Not so many anymore though. Mostly they come up from the Bottom—floppers, flappers, haystacks, all the others. Ones from Mother Storch used to last longer. Her best could even talk. They got more real blood n’em, like you and me.”

“Mostly they come up from the Bottom—floppers, flappers, haystacks, all the others.”

“Others were whole clumps of heads and limbs a few resembled huge stumpy spiders.”
