“ | You think those floundering things wiped out the servants? Fool, they are harmless! But the servants are gone, aren’t they? [...] Things are hunting me now—the things that devour and dissolve—but I know how to elude them. [...] My pets are not pretty, for they come out of places where aesthetic standards are—very different. Disintegration is quite painless, I assure you—but I want you to see them. I almost saw them, but I knew how to stop. | „ | |
