Thanks @dirge, glad you enjoyed it. Lol, you know what? I was afraid to admit it in this company before but I haven't read any of the Cthulhu books! Shameful I know. But as @f3nix says below, it is true that this story wasn't influenced by any external source of literature.
I'm a huge nerd, but, not that kind of one.
Ha ha, yeah I get where you're coming from. It is insane when nerds get all like 'you're not a real fan' ;-)
I'm a massive Tolkien enthusiast, I've read all the histories etc but if someone says to me, I don't like any of his books or LOTR was slow and boring, I say 'fair enough'... opinions are opinions. Glad that I'm in good company.
