THING WITH THE FEELERS
"What
seemed to be sheer fantasy was the superstitious lore--that Wizard
Potter had 'called something down from the sky, and it lived with him or
in him until he died';--that a late traveller, found in a dying state
along the main road, had gasped out something about 'that thing with the
feelers-slimy, rubbery thing with the suckers on its feelers' that came
out of the wood and attacked him-and a good deal more of the same kind
of lore."

Thumbs up as always!
ReplyDelete"Wizard Potter" is actually a prophetic reference to the character Harry Potter, telling of when he (Harry) in his old age as a wizard, ends up practicing blasphemous magic and learning ancient eldritch knowledge which produced this monstrosity as his familiar. Something even Hagarid would pale at the sight of.
