    Domestic settings use to be a novelity, but now they are common, if not mandatory. That's not bad, just uniform. I always like to believe we live in large world full wonder, not small world, where there is nothing new.

    This story is actually the sequel to An Offering To The Moon, woukd you vonsider reading that as well? Between these 2 stories and Out Of The Aeons you would have covered the tales of lost mu by both Lovecraft and Clarkash-ton. @HorrorBabble

    I'm so glad your works opened my eyes to C.A.S. I cannot believe I never read this, nor many if his works prior to finding your channel.
    I love the description of the Isle, people, buildings, the ships, the oars, and everything.
    Great music piece too! Fantastic work! You are a narrator and composer extraordinaire!
    Thanks for bringing this true gem to us.

    Fantastic story, literally. However, I can't forgive him for not rescuing the child! Since no one seemed to see him, it would have been easy for him to swoop in and the little one would be scooped through the air. That would have been something for his rescuers to wonder over.
