The work consists of one hundred texts, most of which are under one page. A few extend to two pages and two extend into the third. Gyrði's texts also expand on the page, and some of them breathe, perhaps with fish lungs, into the reader's neck after reading is finished. More often than not, it's the smallest that grow the most, and live the longest.
