by Terry M. West

Baker no fue completamente honesto con respecto al viaje. Si bien había una Lucy Peak, y era un hecho que era dueña de una taberna. También, lo era que solicito que Baer fuese, pero sabia que la taberna no estaba embrujada. Y él se encontraba segur de que Lucy lo sabía. Ella se encontraba enamorada de él, y su solicitud era realmente un intento de un romance lejano. Él no aceptaría la invitación, ni usaría a Lucy como una excusa para volver a Providencia, pero su estado de ánimo había cambiado desde su encuentro con H.P. Lovecraft. Baker se sentía obligado a regresar e investigar más sobre la historia de Lovecraft.

Y necesitaba llegar a la fuente de ese mal, y encontrar una forma de prevenir que se produjese la visión de Lovecraft en la que un cataclismo capaz de acabar con la Tierra ocurra. Y la prosa del hombre era el mejor lugar buscar. “Necesito usar el baño”, Dijo Baker, poniéndose de pie con dificultad. Sherman dejó su asiento y le dio paso a Baker. Baker camino torpemente por el pasillo del vehículo, sujetándose de los asientos, y marchando como un borracho lo hace a través de arena pesada y húmeda. Mientras se encontraba de pie, se le apeteció un viaje al vagón restaurante. Ya que un brandi lo ayudaría a calmar su estómago. De repente, el tren se sacudió. Como si la maquina entrase en pánico, Baer escucho la estresante sinfonía de las ruedas de m
