Through Dark Angles: Works Inspired By H. P. Lovecraft - Plot & Excerpts
He was a bad man who expressed his badness in things given. Once he gave the mayor a little ivory whistle. Said it was a duck call. The mayor hunted, we all hunt, but the mayor had the balls to hunt on Ephraim Bishop’s land. So Ephraim tells him, he’ll draw more ducks with the call. It works. The mayor was beside himself. Shooting and eating ducks all the time. His mainly bald head grew shiny with duck fat. It was illegal to hunt that much, of course, but the mayor of Kingsport was above the law. He came to the Lodge many nights, Masonic Lodge 118—one of the oldest in the great state of Massachusetts. Always wanting us to go hunting. We have day jobs, Mr. Mayor. He went out more and more and we’d hear that whistle—didn’t sound a damn thing like a duck—and then blam! Then he started hunting so much, he was never in his office, so he lost the election. But he didn’t care, got grossly fat on ducks—or whatever he was shooting. We wouldn’t see him for days, just hear the whistle.
