Moonlight Sonata

Remus sat in his sitting room at 9 p, one still, cool April evening. The expected showers had fallen throughout that afternoon,the clouds eventually drifted apart to reveal a full moon. At that moment, prompted by something Remus would be hard put to explain, he listened to a digital recording of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. The shower had left the terrain almost swampy. In the midst of the music, he heard the coarse croak of frogs. Steadily, they became louder and almost drowned out the music.Remus suddenly thought of the curse of frogs in Egypt.Nearly twenty minutes later, the croaking was joined by the barking of stray dogs about fifteen kilometers from the head of Remus's lane in the town.

'What on earth could them dogs have seen now?' he wondered.
But he was indisposed to go and see for himself. Furthermore, neither the croaks nor the stray dogs seemed to grow louder than their current pitch. He felt indifferent ad disinclined.

At half pat 9 that night, the croaking had onto used at that pitch, but the barking grew louder, frenzied as it would when or if the dogs encountered something strange. He continued his solitary journey homeward.
When the noise grew irritatingly loud, Remus had no choice. He wandered out the door of his house and headed for the source and direction of the clamor.
He arrived at a small alley but the digs had run away and the frogs became silent. Remus ultimately felt they he gone outdoors needlessly.
He turned away and headed for home. About five minutes later, the dogs barked at the distance. Remus was still uninterested.
The sound of barking seemed to follow in the wake of the thing or person the dogs had encountered. However, Remus had no desire to follow the dogs after their encounter. He preferred to stay at home and relax with music. He reached the doorstep of his house, unlocked the door, walked inside and locked the door from within. Yet, as he continued to listen to the sonata, a neighbor arrived ad his voice was nervous and excited. He knocked anxiously on Remus's door and called.
"Remus! Hey, Remus!"
"What's the matter, Cuthbert?"
"You heard them strays, ain't you?"
"I heard them all right."
"Folks up the lane think them critters has seen something strange."
"I'd not be too surprised if they has."

A few minutes later, another townsman arrived and reported seeing "something that looked like a big bat or a toad but walking upright like a man. I swear, it were the strangest, craziest critter I ever seen."
"It seems to be shifting away from us, though," Remus replied calmly. "Let's hope it won't turn round an head back towards us."
Eventually, the creature, in reality the fearsome monster named Tsathoggua, the Toad God, had wandered off to seek something in another place. The croaking had died down, the dogs returned to their spot tired and confused. The town settled down and Remus invited his visitors to enjoy some music. They both accepted graciously.
