Eclipse begs beasts bays: Chaos and Havoc as the scheming plots a clock, e'er so close. Ill sprites hover and bobble ... spasmatic entities let loose their suffering throes. Screams and wails are a precursor outbreak of the cavernous peel that the master-- is nigh--and that the hellish host bewake, yond slithered pets whip, for the taskmaster. Becalm, bestilled, beware forevermore, whilst the knell toils its toll and the uncoiled hast sprung a boy no more behind the door, third strike's out a poise shadows earth, turmoiled. Minute passage as minutes flash a fear, fourth nil toil nexus whence hell domineer.
