Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Stimson's discovery of the latex dummy in Brock's room triggers his hasty departure and the dropping of his spectacles, which the reptile stamps on, leading directly to the creature attacking him."

About Causal Connections
