walk- clim,- fly or swim- crawl or wiggle ' yet always e#perience a mo&e of motion partly
+oluntary partly in+oluntry) (you cannot see your arms legs or any part of your ,o&y) 2he a,yss is

(seeing the ol& woman clearly now ' you recall a croacking +oice ' you must meet the 0lack Man
an& go with them all to the throne of 45athoth at the centre of ultimate chaos/)(you must sign in

thun&er of artillery)/ 4t night su,tle stirring of the ,lack city outsi&e- sinister scurring of rats-
creaking of (hi&&en) tim,ers in the centurie& house- gi+es you a sense of stri&ent pan&emonium/
Darkness teems with une#plaine& soun&s- an& yet the fear of the noises stopping coul& may let you
hear fainter noises suspecte& to ,e lurking hi&&en ,ehin& them/ $onstant terrifying impression of

floor un&erfoot/ $ases of ,ooks on the walls (&isintergrate) an& in the centre is a ta,le an& ,ench/
(the rat 6umps up onto the ta,le)/ 0y the ta,le is a figure you ha+e ne+er seen ,efore ' a tall- lean
man of &ea& ,lack colouration- wholly &e+oi& of either hair or ,ear& an& wearing a ro,e of hea+y
,lack fa,ric/ (&oes not speak an& is e#pressionless) He points at a huge ,ook which is open on the
ta,le/ 2he ol& woman thrusts a .uill into your han&/ (the furry thing runs up onto your shoul&er
&own your arm then ,ites into your wrist- as the ,loo& spurts out you faint/)
