Beyond The Wall Of Sleep Lovecraft 소설 & 이야기

He smiled again. "Not a bad book to start with. Have you read IT?" I nodded. "That was my first by him. Hmmm I wonder." He left my side and began to look through the books. He left the section I was in and after a few minuets returned with another book. He handed it to me and I studied it. It wasn't a book or author I knew. "I haven't read this one." I said. "Good it's one of my favorites. Do you enjoy vampire novels?" I nodded. "You'll like this then. There are some erotic moments just a heads up." He said it so indifferently that I didn't know how to react.

And beyond it, hundreds of glowing white eyes opened in the darkness beyond reality itself. The Architect stopped fighting instantly. The Sleeper froze and even the Wardens went still because something far worse was arriving. Then a voice echoed from beyond the broken sky. Cold, ancient and hungry. At last. The gate is open.

I wanted to call Chelsea but I went against it and placed back my phone on the table. Maybe I would call her later. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep. It felt like I was floating in thin air like outta space. I was surrounded by darkness but at a far distance I could see a tunnel of light. I followed it and it led to a dark room. It was full of chains and dead skeletons. The place gave me the chills. Something was written on the wall in a red substance. BEWARE YOUR END IS NEAR. Before I could respond the room began spinning and everything turned pitch black. I woke up breathing hard. I wiped the sweat off my forehead and I turned on the lights.

One we were never supposed to go near. I stood slowly and walked toward the edge of the platform. The murals along the far wall caught the dim green light of the moss. Gods devouring gods. Time loops folding into knives. J stirred in his sleep. Spitfire muttered something in a dream. I stared out into the dark. And I whispered, "We’re not done yet."

The foliage has begun reclaiming sidewalks and parking lots, even poking through the street’s asphalt. But not here. Nothing grows here. “I grew up reading a lot of classic horror, Stephen King, H. P. Lovecraft, especially,” Father Ward says. “Dad did, too. He was a different sort of pastor. A little more relaxed. Anyway, there’s a scrap of poetry by Lovecraft. Goes something like this . . . ” Father Ward closes his eyes and with a thoughtful expression recites: The Thing, they whisper, wears a silken mask Of yellow, whose queer folds appear to hide

Do not let your love become the key. The room went silent. The bond between us pulsed once. Dark. Hungry. Alive. And beneath the bed, something laughed.

She shut down her laptop, tidied her desk as best she could, and pulled her blanket over herself. She left the bedroom light on before lying down. Aurelia closed her eyes, but every sense remained alert. She tried to ignore her fear and drift off to sleep. Just as drowsiness finally began to take hold, she heard it again. This time it was clearer. Closer. Aurelia's eyes snapped open. Her heart nearly leaped out of her chest. She stared into the room, frozen in place, unable to move. And this time, she was certain.

I was to pretend this affair didn't exist and do nothing to stop them. Something wrapped its arm around my throat. I tore the contract into shreds. Nathaniel had kept the affair a secret for five whole years. That was something I didn't see coming. … It happened one night when I came home—three months had passed since our wedding. The first thing that greeted my eyes was a house turned upside-down. I saw torn clothes, undergarments, and questionable stains all over the ground. I walked into my bedroom. That was where I found Nathaniel in bed, naked with another woman. The scene hit me like a sledgehammer.

I saw Adrian, still crouched in a corner, watching us in misery. He followed us all the way to a villa district but couldn't enter. From a distance, he stared at our windows, hoping to catch a glimpse of me forgiving him. Late that night, Caleb turned off the lights. As our shadows slowly collapsed onto the bed together, I heard a deafening roar. Caleb covered my ears and pressed his lips against mine in frustration. "Darling, focus. Don't listen to those barking dogs." I giggled and sank into the tidal wave of his love.

“LEX?!” My feet hit the ground, making me fall, but there is no ground. There is infinite blackness around me. I know this place. It is where I would hide when I was creating Kardiá tou Menae. This is the place known as The Beyond. Very few entities can come here. When most of my essence had been used up, I wasn’t able to get back here anymore. I try to stand up, but I am grabbed by the throat and a light shines from overhead, exposing a woman in a green velvet gown. There is an ugly sneer on her face while her sharp fingernails cut into the sides of my neck.
