Hawk's Speculation

But before he had even finished touring for a morning, he stepped on something.

Looking down, he found an eyeball.

A pink spinal column, woven from eyeball nerves and trillions of precisely interlaced neural strands, stood there.

From the spine extended branching nerves, resembling the structure of a trunk and its branches.
