This amazing kite has the tail of an underwater creature, the eyes of an ancient lizard, and the claws of a huge monster from a parallel world. It flies through different eras and places, passing over Hiroshima after a nuclear bombing, over early 20th-century Russia, where a circus elephant enrages and attacks people, over a Greek island where the gods hold a bacchanal, and over the battlefields of World War II, where horror breaks through from Howard Phillips Lovecraft’s worlds. It flies through the “wild nineties” into our present day—leaving suffering and blood behind, but also carrying faith in the better.
Who is this kite? A deceiver, a tempter—or, on the contrary, a messenger from heaven? You’ll only know if you follow it.
So what are you waiting for—just stand there and watch?
CHASE IT!
