Within That Room!

Dick opened the door again swiftly, Vera clinging to him–and they were so astounded at what they saw that he forgot for the moment to slam the door shut again.

A strange, incredible caricature of a being hung in the dusty air, a haze of blurry light surrounding it from the back. There was the pointed tail, the simian ears, the long needle-chinned face, bent arms flexed as though...
