Marathe and Steeply: the Entertainment (Ghosts and Wraiths)

quote

The two men sent together a strange Bröckengespenst-shadow out toward the city Tucson, a shadow round and radial at the base and jagged at the top, from Steeply’s wig becoming un-combed in his descent.

Context

Steeply has slid down the slope in heels and joined Marathe on the shelf, and the two agents now compose a single composite specter over Tucson — wheelchair at the base, ruined wig at the crown. The image is the scene's pulse; at the close, true dusk begins to erase it.
