Blacklight

Hello everybody!

We fled to this church, and the fires backlit an orange cross into these black doors.

Does the sentence say the fires make orange cross be formed on the door or the fires make the orange cross be seen clearly?

  

Top answer

It is incomprehensible. You can't backlight something into doors. A doorway, maybe.

  • It is incomprehensible.
  • You can't backlight something into doors.
  • A doorway, maybe.
  • And if fire backlit something, the fire would be orange, not the backlit thing, which would appear black.
  • You are reading an attempt at experimental prose by a Villanova college senior.
