First off, I loved the clickbait title! 🤣

This post was so interesting. I found I could follow the story - kind of - by focusing just on the verbs in green, although it surprised me that you hadn't highlighted 'up' and 'out' - as in 'woke up' and 'knocked out' - hmmm, I'm thinking about that.

Then I went down a layer and concentrated on the words in grey, which gave me more of a sense of the narrative.

My favourite layer of reading, though, was of the lovely adjectives in orange, which gave me a much greater sense of what the story was about even if I couldn't follow it entirely.

A really, really interesting Experiment in style, Terry - thank you so much for a Sunday reading highlight!

(There's a typo in there... you've put 'purposely' instead of 'purposefully'. Just sayin'.)

Wow, that was most off-putting! I had to skip reading pass the first line the first time, then went back to it so I could fully experience the discomfort...it made for a fractured experience, as my brain was frustrated not to be able to just enjoy reading as well as identifying each colour group. For novelty of feeling out of a very familiar text, I'd say that's a success!
