Winston stopped at the kiosk. "Six bottles of Victory Gin, please," he said.

"That'll be thirty dollars sixteen," said the girl.

He handed her a note and she counted the change into his hand.

"That's ten, fifteen, nineteen, eighty one, two, three, four. Nineteen eighty-four."

>The terror, which would not end for another twenty-eight years — if it ever did end — began, so far as I know or can tell, with a boat made from a sheet of newspaper floating down a gutter swollen with rain.

With a sudden, inexplicable feeling of trepidation I picked up the receiver.

At first, my straining ears could make out nothing. Then - oh horror! - out of that awful, ominous silence emerged the sound of breathing. This was no product of human lungs, nor indeed could I possibly attribute it to any animal as yet catalogued or imagined by our zoology. It was a ghastly, wet, slow, sucking, fishy breathing - a blasphemous mockery of all earthly modes of respiration.

Then I heard the click of a replaced receiver.

I fell back into a chair. No longer could I cling to hope, and tell myself that those monstrous and indescribable forces had passed me by. No longer. Not after receiving the call of Cthulhu.

THE END
