Foolish as it may sound, and impossible as it is for me to adduce proof, I can only say that the animal seemed to me then to be—not real. FOOLISH AS IT MAY SOUND AND IMPOSSIBLE AS IT IS FOR ME TO ADDUCE PROOF I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THE ANIMAL SEEMED TO ME THEN TO BE NOT REAL
. I could have dropped on the spot, for the strength all ran out of my body with a rush. Something about it touched in me the living terror that grips and paralyses. If the mind requires but the tenth of a second to form an impression, I must have stood there stockstill for several seconds while I seized the ropes for support and stared. Many and vivid impressions flashed through my mind, but not one of them resulted in action, because I was in instant dread that the beast any moment would leap in my direction and be upon me. Instead, however, after what seemed a vast period, it slowly turned its eyes from my face, uttered a low whining sound, and came out altogether into the open. Then, for the first time, I saw it in its entirety and noted two things: it was about the size of a large dog, but at the same time it was utterly unlike any animal that I had ever seen. Also, that the quality that had impressed me first as being malefic was really only its singular and original strangeness.  ME WITH BALEFUL EYES I COULD HAVE DROPPED ON THE SPOT FOR THE STRENGTH ALL RAN OUT OF MY BODY WITH A RUSH SOMETHING ABOUT IT TOUCHED IN ME THE LIVING TERROR THAT GRIPS AND PARALYZES IF THE MIND REQUIRES BUT THE TENTH OF A SECOND TO FORM AN IMPRESSION I MUST HAVE STOOD THERE STOCK STILL FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHILE I SEIZED THE ROPES FOR SUPPORT AND STARED MANY AND VIVID IMPRESSIONS FLASHED THROUGH MY MIND BUT NOT ONE OF THEM RESULTED IN ACTION BECAUSE I WAS IN INSTANT DREAD THAT THE BEAST ANY MOMENT WOULD LEAP IN MY DIRECTION AND BE UPON ME INSTEAD HOWEVER AFTER WHAT SEEMED A VAST PERIOD IT SLOWLY TURNED ITS EYES FROM MY FACE UTTERED A LOW WHINING SOUND AND CAME OUT ALTOGETHER INTO THE OPEN THEN FOR THE FIRST TIME I SAW IT IN ITS ENTIRETY AND NOTED TWO THINGS IT WAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A LARGE DOG BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS UTTERLY UNLIKE ANY ANIMAL THAT I HAD EVER SEEN ALSO THAT THE QUALITY THAT HAD IMPRESSED ME FIRST AS BEING MALIFIC WAS REALLY ONLY ITS SINGULAR AND ORIGINAL STRANGENESS
