The Whisperer in Darkness Page #7

---

Name Which Must Not Be Spoken,

do I this passage consecrate

with my person.

Open shall the passage

be rendered in the

name of the Black Goat of the

Woods with a Thousand Young!

Open the door, sweetheart!

It's me, it's Albert!

Can you hear me?

Unlock the door sweetheart!

It's all right!

Thank you, sweetheart.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Get in the airplane.

We're getting out of here.

You couldn't stop them.

Get in the plane.

You've flown in it before, haven't you?

Yes.

Do you know how to turn the magneto on?

How to open the throttle?

Did your father ever show you any of that?

Yes.

Good girl.

Open up the throttle, Hannah.

Don't touch any of the switches.

No, the otherway.

You have to turn it the other way.

Oh, right. Good girl.

Oh god.

There is no need for you to suffer.

You can live forever among us.

Turn on the magneto now, Hannah!

Ignition on!

Wilmarth. Come with us.

Are you sure the magneto's on, honey?

Yes.

Wilmarth. You cannot escape us.

Albert, can you hear them too?

Are you ready?

Yes.

Don't be afraid.

It's coming!

Hang on!

I got him, Albert! I got him!

Good girl!

You cannot escape us.

You cannot succeed.

And that was all.

You know the rest, of course,

betterthan I myself, I would dare to say.

It all seems so normal and easy now.

I feel foolish when I think how I resisted it.

The experience has been so far beyond

anything I could possibly have imagined.

I suppose I hardly need to explain that to you.

The Akeleys paid a price for their involvement,

though it's hardly significant when

compared to the scope of the matters at hand.

I now regret the harm I inflicted and

am so grateful that they hold no grudge.

I'm so looking forward to

my first trip to the outside,

to joining the ranks of those few privileged mortals

to share in the glory of their understanding.

I have been given a rich boon of knowledge

and intellectual adventure which

few other men have ever shared.

Wilmarth? Are you in there?

It's me, Ward. Open up!

And now, if you don't mind,

we might adjourn our session until tomorrow.

When disconnected, I find I drop off into a

sleep of the most vivid, fantastic dreams.

I've rather come to enjoy it.

If you'd be so kind...

Good night.
