The Great Dissolution

By Walter Lazo

There are dark things that exist at the very peripheries of reality. Sometimes these manage to break into our world. Most people, however, are fortunate enough to never come into contact with these. In 1873, Kevin Hollingsbeck's fortune ran out, and he and his companions came face to face with a being whose very essence was corruption, the Great Dissolution.

Here, Kevin Hollingsbeck recounts his experience.

"Our free short stories are intended as a doorway to our more mature premium works. Their purpose is to showcase the author's writing style and use of evocative imagery. Although these are his earlier works—he has gotten much better since—they serve as a nice introduction to his thematic concerns as well as to his belief that a story has to be believed in to be effective. Therefore, what he presents in these stories are situations and the reactions of characters within those situations." Walter Lazo was born in Cambridge, MA, and now lives in North Carolina. As a child he discovered his love of Weird Fiction and large, epic, heroic stories, as well as German and Greek mythology, devouring the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, J.R.R. Tolkien, Stephen King, the Grimm brothers, Bram Stoker, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Walter grew up reading the short stories of Richard Matheson, and later discovered the works of the great science fiction writers of the 20th century; namely, Philip K. Dick, Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov. He enjoys writing horror and science fiction stories with an occasional martial arts story thrown in for good measure. He is currently obsessed with the short story form and hopes that it will make a comeback in popularity. As an adult he has tried to create his own mythos, writing about the Demon World and other creatures that torment men's dreams. He is a longtime fan of Stephen King and of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. ! ! ! A T T E N T I O N ! ! ! Our Forums Are Now OPEN! Join us at: http://werewolfwinter.com/forum/

THE GREAT DISSOLUTION

It was as we walked down the old Indian Trail at the very outskirts of North Carolina back in '73—only three miles from the border of South Carolina—that a powerful wave of external malevolence washed over us. It was unlike anything that I had ever felt, as if I were privy to the point of view of an inhuman mind whose hatred was directed at me and my companions. I quickly turned
