For me, the most notable thing is the fact that each piece of action takes place on a separate line. Also, the longest line of description is only 11 words, with most of the lines 5, 6 and 7 words. The brevity, sparseness keeps you reading. You don't have to wade through a pile of purple prose to get to the story.

How about a Victorian Period piece.....with zombies....? Seriously though, it is similar to the reasoning behind newspaper column width....reducing them to just the right width so you can scan down them without moving your eyes from left to right, making it all so much faster, and breathless....for screenwriting, it was one of those exciting things I read about (possibly first on GITs to be honest) and then really appreciated how simply arrangements of words can drag you into a story and give pace and excitement to what are, essentially, just a collection of black on white. Great stuff.....I have tried to use it (sparingly and particularly in the action set-pieces in my western) but it is definitely something that still needs to be crafted carefully....even if it looks "dashed out".....something to aspire to!

Ah, well, it was tense and tight and written in free verse and an indicator that something staccato was happening here, pay attention, don't you dare leave the page, stay here, this is big, this is different. That woman is going to save the cat.
