Stuck in an invisible maze… now that would be a nightmare of frustration and confusion. Good story.

I very much like this story. It has an interesting way of telling of the arrogance of man. I wonder if at the end had they placed the orb down and understood their mistake if the native creatures maybe would've helped them out? The exit manifested close by to both men when they lost hope, and perhaps when they both came to similar conclusions as described at the end of the scroll.

He should have never searched for a second exit. He knew 100% there was one way out. He should have turned around and worked that angle as his resources were so limited and vital.

Most of Lovecraft’s main characters are most likely unhinged and not very intelligent at the best of times

@@jonathanwells223 honestly, this character seems neither unintelligent nor unhinged. Rather, his error seems to arise from what someone else has commented as his arrogance, the arrogance of humanity. He could have turned around and left but he wanted to explore the building for reasons unspecified.

@@jonathanwells223 absolutely untrue. Most of his protagonists are entirely normal people, if not more intelligent than most. The problem is that none of those human traits can help them in the otherworldly situations he puts them in.

He should have packed rope in his supplies. Or go a few steps forward then back over and over but each time going a few more steps until he memorized the floor plan.

Seems to me that had he went back and prepped for this journey, and brought the whole crew, he could have survived this without getting stuck in the maze.
@SF-ob8tj Жыл бұрын
He could have gone 10 steps forward then gone right back. If he added 5 steps on each return he would have quickly memorized the floor plan. Or been smart enough not to go into a invisible building with a body at the entrance.

@@SF-ob8tj even then, one misstep sould have been almost immediately fatal. all mans had to do was go back and at _least_ bring something to mark the trail. you can't go into a labyrinth with no floor plan and a dead body, without doing that much at least.

He could have thrown the mud on the ground at the walls wither every step. It disappeared very quickly but if he did he could have at least seen where a blocked area was.

Been trying to figure that out. At work ATM but I just remembered last time I drifted off to this one or horror at red hook maybe (same reader) I heard a flip the tape message that included the title of the audio book I will sift next time I get a chance to catch the name and see if possible to find out that way.
