This is an incredibly well written story and definitely one of the best Lovecraftian tales on the site.

Other Lovecraftian stories like Koromo's A Few Bad Apples are written with a modern sensibility, while this story, though it does actually take place in the future, has an ancient and antiquated feeling to it that speaks of a world, time and even dimension far different than the one we inhabit now.

The prose is simply outstanding. Mesmerizing.

I was also picking up other authors besides Lovecraft. He speaks of the Panoptican prison. This is a concept most notably discussed by French philosopher Michel Foucault in his treaty on the prison Discipline and Punish. Quite the scholarly work. I believe I am also picking up hints of Poe in there as well.

The labor and effort put into this piece of writing is immediately evident. It is flawless and I can only assume the writer proofread scrupulously. I look forward to reading more of his work in the future.
