| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft: this oddity was, aside from a stack of press cuttings, in Professor

What seemed to be the main document was headed "CTHULHU CULT"
in characters painstakingly printed to avoid the erroneous reading

your temper, you stand up to them and tell them to go to

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Damaged Goods by Upton Sinclair: pulled from off their backs?
And then suddenly, while he was speculating, there stood the
doctor, signaling to him. His turn had come!
CHAPTER II
The doctor was a man about forty years of age, robust, with every
appearance of a strong character. In the buttonhole of the frock
coat he wore was a red rosette, the decoration of some order.
Confused and nervous as George was, he got a vague impression of

marbles and tapestries.
The doctor signaled to the young man to be seated in the chair
