More Description A vast emptiness. The room, in the darkness, seemed big as a cathedral. Warm currents of air still drifted from the radiators.
Delfosse struck a match. They paused for a moment to take a breath and get their bearings. And suddenly the match dropped. A piercing shriek came from Delfosse . . . Chabot saw something too.
