Who would have thought that a weird sound from a simple machine would change all of our lives. Life in Smallstown, Maine, was said to be everyone's dream.

... with beauty. The masque was held in a suite with 7 rooms. The rooms were most curios with turns at every corner and gothic windows. The colors of each room varied. The 7th chamber was all black. The only thing different about this room was that the windows did not match with every thing else. The pains where blood red, there was no light of any kind. In there stood giant ebony clock “whose pendulum swung with a dull heavy activities clang." All activities ceased with the sound of each hour. Everything stooped as if dead. “ But when the echoes had full ceased, a light laughter at once pervaded the asse ...
