    I cant believe that I had missed this story twice while listening to the mythos collection!
    You and Jen have very soothing voices however so it is easy to lull me to slumber.
    Just means I need to listen a few more dozen times.

    Take a look to the sky just before you die...its the last time you will....blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky..shattered goal fills the soul with a ruthless cry!
    Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery...hears a silence so loud...crack of dawn all is gone save the will to be...now you see what will be blinded eyes to see!'
    For whom the Bell Tolls....time marches on..."
    METALLICA....

      Jeffrey Stockham kuttner was part of Lovecraft's inner circle. This was meant to be part of the mythos cycle.

      Zeus likely. The Romans called him Jupiter, and English speakers tend to shorten it to Jove.
