His ghostly pallor of skin and the miraculous glow that now existed in his eyes, above all, surprised and impressed me.

With his silky hair, in which he had grown carelessly, in which it was as if, in its texture allied to his spider queen, more floated than fell on his face.

In which I could not, even though I tried to do so, relate his tangled appearance to any idea of simple humanity.

When I was surprised, at first, to find an incoherence, in that it was an inconsistency, even with his behavior of my friend, and I soon discovered, nevertheless, that they were motivated by a series of feeble and futile attempts to overcome a habitual embarrassment, an excessive nervous agitation.

Even so, I always say that I was certainly prepared for something of this nature, both by the letter, and also by the remembrance of certain traits of youth and conclusions.

Those even so, which I arrived at based on their peculiar physical conformation and temperament.

In which he alternated the way he acted, sometimes he was cheerful, sometimes even frowning.

His voice quickly varied from a trembling indecision, so it was that when vitality seemed to be in complete latency) to that it was a kind of energetic conciseness.

The man seemed like an echo at the end of the tunnel, a reflection of a different way of speaking.

With that abrupt way of speaking, he was heavy, slow and hollow, so with this his voice, which was guttural, dense, balanced in that perfectly modulated, which can be observed in a drunkard, in which he was lost, or in the opium addict during the period of greatest exaltation.

It was in this manner that the spoke of the object of my visit, with his earnest desire to see me, and the consolation which he hoped my presence would bring him.

When we were gathered in the meeting room, all this to address in some depth the galactic sectors, in which he at that time, in which he thought was the cause of his illness.

In which he said, when addressing such a subject, that it was a constitutional and family evil, all this, for which he no longer had hope at that moment when he found a cure for some plagues that plagued other dimensions.

That matter in which was in such a way, the sending of some priests and physicians, with a simple nervous affection, in which he was there remunerating the matter.

"We are gathered here, gentlemen, for a great ransom demand, as some worlds amidst the darkness of the abyss.

Yes, he got some details right.

- The hordes of some worlds are being sent with requests for help, so that they could be evacuated with rescue ships.

In which he immediately added — that it would undoubtedly pass soon, with that disease manifesting itself by spreading through various quadrants that had several affected zones that there was a galactic and tenebrous region, which were isolated between regions that were placed under quarantine.

All this, through a multitude of sensations in which everyone felt the world in its endless alternates.

All this while he was detailing them, some of them interested me and perplexed me, though perhaps the terms, in which in this general manner as he narrated them, had their weight.

Being that some native and original inhabitants like him, who suffered, even from a morbid sharpening of the senses: he could only endure.

As for the provisions and his meals, as for the food, being even more insipid, he could only wear garments of a certain texture.

As for the environments, which year had more vegetation, as for the groves, they no longer had all the flowers, which oppressed all those who were being rescued.

In which it was a mere dim light that tortured his eyes, in which only a few ghostly sounds of suffering, which came from decadent worlds, in which all of them stringed instruments, in which it was inspired in him horror of lost regions.

Then I realized that he was tied to a strange sense of terror.

All the ancient inhabitants, before in their numerous times, in which they reported not being able to be saved.

- I will die, there were many reports of victims of what would be a galactic holocaust coming from other dimensions.

The whispers they said.

"I am going to die because of this deplorable madness.

A disease that spread madness, in which thus; in this way, and in no other way, in which I shall perish.

- Now, gentlemen, I fear what will happen in the future, not the events themselves, everyone will die, we will not be able to save everyone, but their consequences.

When he shuddered, at that they saw at the thought of any, of the galactic incidences of other dimensions, seeing each of them, the same incident, which was repeated, in that even in the most trivial, that might have effect upon this intolerable agitation of the soul.

Even though I do not have any aversion to danger, except in its absolute effect: in terror.

In that condition in which it was inhabited by monsters, spirits, and beasts, in which everything that was alive was enfeebled, and pitiable, I feel that sooner or later, when he knew that the time will come when I shall have to abandon life and reason in that very time, in some struggle against the dark ghost of fear.

It was then that I discovered that, in addition, little by little and through allusions in which they were broken and ambiguous, another singular feature of his spiritual and mental condition.

That was how he was knowing then, that the other beings that dwelt there were dominated by certain superstitious impressions, in which I saw when, on discovering that they were more than gloomy, it was in relation to the property where he lived, and from where, for many years, he had never been able to make a difference.

In what they had ventured to go out were nothing more than superstitions, they discovered a curse, which was impregnated, upon the woes and the truths which lay upon an influence of the ancient power of the enemies of the horde of Um-Mu.

Wherein was so it occurred then, the hypothetical force of which has been described in terms too obscure to be spectral of a cursed world in which it is here reported.

With this came the diabolical, supernatural force of a galactic magician who was the fuse of this powerful influence, being that some peculiarities in the simplest form and substance of the family's temple of Zarathanis had exerted on his spirit, thanks to long suffering, he said.

He found that this was the effect that the appearance of the dimensions of fear, in its crudest gray form, of the towers and the lake that was part of the gloomy rivers, in which it was in which everything was reflected, had on time and space, in which it was a mystical wave, which was produced upon the mood of his existence.
