The quiet, slender beauty of a young woman and the great beast of that metal monster with its baleful eye, ever watchful, with its threatening little chopper that will cut you to pieces if you ever come here again in the dark…… chop, chop, chop, and gobble you up.

I think I need to go and lie down.
