Cap the first chug, sparkling is mispelled. Otherwise good job. I am not sure i know what the river giant is, i might not have encountered what you’re describing – but maybe it doesn’t matter, the perceptual duality is well laid out.

cheers for the corrections… I really need to go back over my writing before I click publish…

there we go, corrected. for those who are interested, what I had in mind as the river giant was a narrow-boat, like a canal barge type of thing, since I just got off one, but to be honest I think it works better if you decide for yourself what you want to picture.
