Words that you can HEAR and SEE
Very fitting for you to get more and more excited the more intense the ticks get.
HAVE FUN READING THE CHAPTER MY DEAR PIXEL. MAYBE DON'T STAY UP UNTIL THE WEE HOURS OF THE NIGHT READING BUT I HOPE WHENEVER YOU DO READ IT, IT'S AWESOME!
I'mma take this as an excuse to rant--
I get to take creative liberties with the formatting in order to get a certain vibe across. It's sometimes hard to translate the visuals in my head into words, so I have to use blank space to tell a story. That being said, if this were translated back into a visual (cough the opening of an episode or Rise or something), it would look something like this--
Black screen, with ticking slowly getting louder and louder. As the ticking mixes with, then fades into dripping, very faint drops and ripples in a puddle appear. We'd hear the terrified squeaks of the turtles. In the reflection of the rippling puddle, we'd see a dim, black and white reflection of the Hamatos, panning up to see them huddled in the sewers. The whole scene would take place in black and white until the light clicked on. Only then would there be color. Only then would there be light.
I can't convey things like that in writing (yet) but I'm glad the ticking and other formatting gets you just as hyped!
