“A symbol is the feet of a duck that remind you of duckness; an omen is a clear water that submerges the feet of a duck, and there, it suspends.”

"( ) is ominous of ( )" is a fictional iteration of "the corpse-ghost continuum." The omen appears as two fingers painted red, resembling the submerged feet of ducks—the liminal species that is likely to be the key ingredient for

at the register of chthonic bureaucracy.
