"So Plato, what was your blind date like?"
"Her form was hardly ideal."


"Tell Parable I always loved him." —Abraham Lincoln, last words


When I speak of poor Norrys they accuse me of a hideous thing, but they must know that I did not do it. They must know it was the rats; the slithering, scurrying rats whose scampering will never let me sleep; the daemon rats that race behind the padding in this room and beckon me down to greater horrors than I have ever known; the rats they can never hear; the rats, the rats in the walls.HP Lovecraft
