PseudoPod 131: Tales of the White Street Society – The Corpse Army of Khartoum
Tales of the White Street Society – The Corpse Army of Khartoum
by Grady Hendrix
It had been some time since we had last been called to a meeting of the White Street Society and all of us yearned to quench the thirst for the strange that these meetings had fostered in our souls, which is why the three of us – Drake, Lewis and myself – finally abandoned formality and stopped by the clubhouse uninvited, fully expecting Augustus to be absent, overseas perhaps, investigating some mysterious mystery. Instead, we stood frozen in surprise and dripping with February rain in the doorway of the clubroom, watching our old friend sitting by the fire and reading the papers, as cool as an oyster.
“Augustus,” cried Drake. “What are you doing here?”
“And where’s Charles?,” said Lewis, as an unfamiliar manservant helped him off with his overcoat.
