Next is his long, scaly tongue that spits substantial amounts of saliva with each syllable. Then his thin, olive colored lips, that are as dry as the Sahara desert, don’t quite fit over his two incisors. Next you notice his minuscule eyes, they flicker in the faded earwax candle light. Forward, his monstrous nose can’t be missed. Each nostril is the size of a quarter, and contains massive amounts of mucus, swirling around with each twitch of his nose.
