Have you ever read something, took a step back, reread it, then said, "Wow, that's bad"? I just did and thought I'd share. I won't give the title or fandom, but here's the first sentence and only part of the fic I read:
Deep within the dreary bowels of the foul cavern, two figures embraced by shadows moved swiftly with unease, stumbling blindly without any source of light to aid them in their haste, seeming to feel that any would draw too much attention to themselves.
I gave up halfway through the sentence. I can't even.

It got worse from there. I did a quick glance and backed away, shuddering.
