Nothing glomming, quiet, and darkness in Providence, Rhode Island 1898
The story begins at the house of 454 Angell St., where an eight-year-old boy lives with his single mother. During the night, the little boy walked up the stairs to the attic alone with his candle. The little boy was reading astronomy and chiromancy. The little boy started looking out at the window and saw a strange man with a long, dark coat walking alone while smoking a pipe in the middle of the night.
The next night at 7, the mother decided to take her son to walk along the Providence River. The little boy was staring at the dark river and was quiet. The mother sits down at the benches close to the river. The mother told the son not to go too far away. Suddenly, the little boy saw that strange man again with the same long dark coat and smoking pipe. The little boy was curious about that strange man and why he covered the shadow's face so much.
The little boy wanted to closer and closer to the strange man. Then, the little boy noticed something odd and saw tentacles on his face moving. When the strange man turns on the lighter for the pipe and then shows the face of the octopus and tentacles that are supposed to be beard-like. A strange man with a creature face said, "You know I'm your nightmare?" The little boy ran to his mother and did not express a word.
The next morning, the mother could not understand what was wrong with her son. The little boy continues reading books in the attic, but it is reading about dark myths and fairy tales. The mother decided to call the doctor. The doctor explained that her son still suffers from mental illness from the loss of his father. The mother realized that maybe staying home is good for homeschooling.
Two weeks later, the mother takes her son to the Providence River again during dawn time. The little boy did not know how to respond to his feelings and stared at the dark river again. Suddenly, it was that strange man with a creature face again, and the little boy wanted to get close again. A strange man with a creature's face went through the water and swam away. The little boy could not see the river because it was too dark, and afraid of the ocean now.
For hours, the mother is still sitting on the benches and talking to this woman as a friend and never notices anything for a minute. The little boy is also still staring at the dark river, not responding. For minutes, the little boy heard something behind his back, stepping, dropping, and soaking, moving close.
The little boy looked back and did not respond. The strange man with a creature face said, "Why are you still waiting for me? I told you I'm your nightmare?" The little boy said, " I don't know why I stopped feeling this?"
The little boy still wondered and said," Why do you have that face of the octopus, and do you breathe underwater?" The strange man with a creature face said, "There are a lot of strange myths that are supposed to be a gift or a curse by Poseidon, the god of the sea himself. Thousand years of the sea live forever? I just looked for special, but it never came true?"
When the strange man with a creature face comes closer to the little boy, but still afraid and never screams. The little boy and the strange man with the creature's face share a bond because they are never alone with each other.
The little boy decided to introduce his name. "My name is Howard Phillips Lovecraft, and what's your name?"
The strange man with a creature face gave expression and mysterious clues and said, "Many of the sailors across the sea have a fear of the bottom ocean for losing a soul?" He lights up the pipe. "My name is Davey Jones. Even know it was Locker at the end?" The little boy was shocked because it sounded like a joke or a story for sailors.
Years have passed, and Davey Jones still lived through centuries and never saw the little boy named Howard Phillips Lovecraft after that night again. When Jones was walking in the middle of the night. He saw a pulp magazine called Weird Tales and familiar names. It's that same little boy who called himself H.P., which stands for Howard Phillips, with the last name Lovecraft. Davey Jones sees the pages " The Call of Cthulhu," a short story about a cult that worships Cthulhu, a monstrous human, octopus, and dragon hybrid. Davey Jones realized he had given the young Lovecraft and said, "Like I said, I'm your nightmare, but good?"
