"Don't hop back on the garden path like some little lemming. Or I'll erase everything and start you over entirely for your own good.
The garden path?
Everything's connected. Don't over think it."Ley lines  Quoting: Fancypantz "I wouldn't. Playing with time is such difficult magic. You'll just make it worse.
Make what worse?
And it won't stop him coming.
Who?
The beast. You're in the school. He's going to find you. You're the one he wants. You have to learn.
Learn what?
Look down. You are on the garden path. Stay on. The beast will kill you. Kill everyone. Step off the path or...."

A garden path sentence, such as "The old man the boat," is a grammatically correct sentence that starts in such a way that a reader's most likely interpretation will be incorrect; the reader is lured into a parse that turns out to be a dead end or unintended. Garden path sentences are used in psycholinguistics to illustrate the fact that when human beings read, they process language one word at a time. "Garden path" refers to the saying "to be led down the garden path", meaning to be deceived, tricked, or seduced.
Garden path sentences figuratively lead the reader toward a seemingly familiar meaning that is actually not the one intended. They are a special type of sentence that creates a momentary ambiguous interpretation because that it contains a word or phrase that can be interpreted in multiple ways, causing the reader to begin to believe a sentence will mean one thing when in reality it means something else. After reading, the sentence seems ungrammatical and makes almost no sense, requiring reread to fully understand its meaning after careful parsing.
Quoting: Fancypantz The land of ambiguity is the land of duality and within survival is what gets one killed if followed because that trail is always leading to the killing field and not the promised land. Seeing under the reflection of the ez water in high sun means one can see below the waters teeming with life. It is beyond evolutionary ways of life, time says. Biogenic phase disruptor hmmmm
