The horse seemed to bend time and space as he ran, blurring the landscape and making Frank feel like he'd just drunk a gallon of whole milk without his lactose-intolerance medicine: Seven hundred and fifty miles per hour. Eight hundred. Eight hundred and three. Fast. very Fast.
In "The Son of Neptune," the vivid imagery of a horse racing at extraordinary speeds creates a surreal experience for Frank. The way the horse moves makes time and space feel distorted, illustrating the power and intensity of its speed. This rapid pace evokes a physical reaction in Frank, akin to the discomfort he experiences from drinking whole milk without medication for his lactose intolerance.
The description emphasizes not only the horse's incredible velocity, reaching between 750 and 803 miles per hour, but also enhances the sense of urgency and excitement in the narrative. Readers are drawn into this thrilling scene, feeling the rush and exhilaration alongside the characters as they witness the impossible speed of the horse.
