Large Loomer

I began alternating right and left turns at each attachment zone as I rolled toward the horizon. Before departing toward the next zone, I scanned toward the whorls to make sure that I was on course. I even made two lefts to get a better perspective, followed by four rights to see the other side. I knew that I was getting closer, but it was increasingly difficult to locate the edge of the meshwork at what I thought was the horizon.

After two more lefts and a return to the alternation of directions to equalize my course, I began to discover that the horizon was rising, and the pulse-induced whorls were coming from behind the edge. I was close enough now that I could look at the Seven-Six-Six backbone that made up the meshwork at the base of the mountain of meshwork that I had stumbled toward.

The blend-line was difficult to spot, as it used the same pattern as the meshwork, but in alternation, to create an attachment that appeared seamless. The difference was in the subtle change in angle and the occasional pucker that gave the seam away. Above, the Seven-Six-Six chain that formed the backbone of this mesh segment was far longer and convoluted than the smaller chains that made up the large and stable meshwork that I had been travelling. That's when I realized what I was scanning.

It was a monster.
