On the third day of rain, they had killed so many crabs inside the house that Palleo had to cross his drenched courtyard and throw them into the sea.

Because the newborn child had a temperature all night and they thought it was due to the stench.

The world had been sad since Tuesday. Sea and sky were a single ash-gray

thing in the sands of the beach, which on March nights glimmered like powdered light,

had become a stew of mud and rotten shellfish. The light was so weak at noon that when

Palleo was coming back to the house after throwing away the crabs, it was hard for him to see what

it was moving and groaning in the rear of the courtyard.

He had to go very close to see that it was an old man, a very old man, lying face down in the

mud who, in spite of his tremendous efforts couldn't get up

and peated by his enormous wings.

That was the intro paragraph from Gabriel Garcia Marquez's short tail, a very old man with enormous

wings.

And we're talking about it here on the H.P. Lovecraft literary podcast.
