The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-09

by webnovelverse — A LITTLE more remains to be told. Three months later I was removed from the hospital, a broken man. The serious attack of brain fever, following my terrible experience, was all but fatal. During the whole period Jim never left my side. His remorse was pitiable. He has never ceased to execrate his cowardice in forsaking me. But I do not now hold him a coward. On the contrary, I consider his act in coming back for me, after what he had seen, one of sublime courage. I have no explanations to make,…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-08

by webnovelverse — PRESENTLY the form of the woman lay quiet, and the man rose to a crouching position. His eyes glared and then changed to an expression of terror. Before him stood the figure of his father, his finger pointing accusingly to the still form of the woman. Again utter blackness for what seemed an interminable period. And yet again I saw an emanation from nothingness, that grew into a filmy form—this time the elder Ormond. He stood pondering deeply. Then a look of resolve, of ter- rible unchanging resolve,…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-07

by webnovelverse — Some unseen being was sorting the cards! "The euchre deck," Jim whispered. "It wants to get into the game." As if in confirmation of the words, the pack containing the face cards was taken up and skillfully shuffled. It was then passed to me to cut. I cut. Again the pack was raised and two cards drifted to me, two others falling at the empty space between Jim and me. This was repeated until I had twelve cards. The other twelve were then raised, were slipped rapidly between invisible fingers just as a…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-06

by webnovelverse — "Easy, old man, easy! This is only part of the performance," I said. "We are going to remain for the whole show." Do not think that I am endowed with any superlative degree of courage. I am not. If I had obeyed my natural impulse I should have fled in a panic that instant. In fact, I should never have gone into the room. But I had undertaken this thing deliberately. I knew, or believed I knew, the conditions and consequences. If this were mere trickery, a close and careful investigation would reveal it.…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-05

by webnovelverse — JIM looked at me, and then with one bound, leaped toward the curtains and tore them apart. He disappeared from view, but reappeared almost instantly, brushing the front of his coat. "Nothing in there, but I felt something like a big rat crawling up my coat. Ugh!" We gazed about the room. It was furnished in the style of the past century, with heavy walnut chairs and dresser, and a massive canopied bed from which the curtains had been removed. And upon the bed lay the figure of a man in the position…

The-Lucky-Little-Cat-Chapter-8

by webnovelverse — Half a year later, I was back at the same hospital. The man in the white coat took me from Mama and laid me on the familiar table, checking my wounds. I was in so much pain.

The woman in the white coat—the one who loved to cuddle cats—cried as she helped. “But I know you can make it,” the man said gently, stroking my head. After their care, I slowly regained strength. I spent two days in a…

by webnovelverse — "You have broken your oaths ! You have dishonored yourselves!" the princess cried, starting up from her chair. "Monseigneur, what infamy!" "Sit down, my child," said the prelate, "and try to be reasonable. No oath has been broken. There was no promise that nothing would happen to you within the grounds." "You absolve them?" she gasped incredulously. "There is nothing to absolve," he answered, smiling benevolently. He turned to the smiling nobles. "I leave the matter in your hands now." The…
