# Thanks!
I keep meaning to continue reading the collected works of Lovecraft, but I'm struggling to get back into it. There's only so many stories with the main character fainting I can read in a month.

# I have read them all.
It struck me at first that there was nothing significant about his works, nothing that should affect any sane person.... It was a week later that I noticed the subtle, fluting whistling, almost below the level of perception, clearly not the product of human lips. It seemed to follow me. While I remained at home, it remained outside, and I seemed to be safe. When I went about my errands during the day, the whistling was present, but distant sounding, and it did not concern me greatly. At night... oh, at night, how different it was! I could never catch clear sight of the whistling entity, always it seemed to be behind a wall other than the one I looked over, and when I did that, the whistling changed, seeming to announce my presence, my curiosity... and then, worse, I would hear a response from afar, almost inaudible, but still there....

At nights, now, I remain inside. I hear the whistling. I still know not what it might bring; but it may yet be the end of man.
