Things that Crawl in Darkness... and the Key of Life...  Surely this all adds up to something, if I could just wrap my mind around it...But I am very tired...  I cannot sleep, for every time that I try, I wake. screaming... <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /></blockquote>
