With this technique, authors repeat internal vowel sounds in words that usually do not end the same; for example, ‘black, rat-infused mud that slides down my back‘

Authors use this technique to write sentences or descriptions that feature three main parts; for example, '…deep and frantic, gasping for air, failing…'
