Cottrell. Creative thinking can benefit any aspect of life‚ including academic study or our working day.

The Great Carnivore It came on great bared‚ tremendous legs. It creaked out in the open‚ a startled beast‚ curling it’s watchmaker’s claws at every step. Each leg dragged behind the next‚ a thousand pounds of white bone‚ sunk in thick ropes of muscle‚ as each of the four legs stamped the cold dirt-filled ground. Each thigh shook as the beast walked‚ even at the slowest pace. And above the legs a giant food incinerator hidden by it’s bare skin dangled with extra weight‚ while the head slowly dropped
