The Horrid Glory of Its Wings by Elizabeth Bear and John Jude Palencar

Use of graphics/ illustration to reinforce/ enhance the page content.

Example of a hook. Notice "My mother" and "harpy". Three things conveyed here: This is a child; a secret is implied; it involves a mythical creature.

Seems to me that writing about the girl's physical condition here is a way to sustain the reader's interest. Preceding paras are about seemingly mundane details that set the context of the story.

So this para here is to add in new and interesting plot ideas.

Notice the use of White Spaces.

Notice how this one sentence has been singled out, for emphasis.

Statement is singled out for emphasis.

The plot idea: of a mythical creature coexisting with a typical city setting.
