Surrounded by the plains of Mi-Go
collar turned against the malodorous sleet pounding down from greasy skies, I watch as the clouds scrape the last vestiges of hope from the atmosphere. The pale fungus of Yuggoth slumbered beneath the snow, and foetid wisps of steam drift lazily down from high smokestacks of the abbatoir of Hatheg Kla, where disembodied knife wielding arms slaughter night-gaunts whose oily hams and chops and loin feed the ravenous armies of zooks
Despair ruled over the land, a despair with a foundation as deep as the roots of Unknown Kadath. The Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred giggled with glee from the abyss when Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos, listened to the eldrich tones of his strange instruments of glass and metal, and wept in fear of the coming emptiness.
Nah, I just got off work in Pontiac.

Sheesh, for a moment there I thought you got ahold of some real good S**t, and was flashing back to some vintage “Yes”. Although being in Pontiac can cause the same effect, or so I have heard.
How long you up this way?
Hey bro, you gonna bogart that?
Wow, Og…
You channeled an adult version of Calvin (of ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ fame) doing some creative writing.
Kinda reminds me of “Gimli’s” speech located here:

Cool beans, man.
Pontiac Illinois, Ed.
Easy to write like lovecraft. Just remember you’re getting paid by the word, and jam in as many adjectives as you can.
Hmmm.. well, (from your description) it sounds like Pontiac Illinois seems depressed economically.
Either that, or they have a lively night life.
But I could be wrong… :)
Pontiac Illinois is a nice enough town if you live here. I, on the other hand, do not, and living out of hotels away from home sucks the life out of you, in short order.
Otay. I see now.
Sorry I missed you on the drive through. Got caught up in the closure of 270 in St. Louis when the truck jackknifed and went “boom”, ended up being a 17 hour day back.
I actually have three whole days off in a row. I am in order going to
(1) cook something thta involves 3 or 4 courses
(2) pound out some rounds of .40
and
(3) teach Barkley how to growl when I say Nancy Pelosi
A little late to the party, but …
Aren’t you just a freakin’ ray of sunshine.
