Quote context

[...]

- At least screaming seems to stop The Tingler from bending the spinal column.

- Screaming may even dissolve it, or if it's a living organism, kill it.

- And these are things we have to find out.

- What do you think it's made of?

- I don't know. But I'd guess sinews of some very powerful material.

- You said, living organism. Could The Tingler be actually alive? A separate and living thing inside our bodies?

- Why not?

- And we got a long way to go.

- Perhaps. And perhaps not.
