''"You should've stayed in Providence you idiot! Why did you have to bring your family to this godforsaken place? "Essex Hotel," they said, "The jewel of Arkham," they said! Damn it all! Miskatonic River boat trip my ass! Now I can take all the trips I want in those icy waters, right alongside the monsters out of fantasy books. But to call them monsters would be an insult, as the real monsters are those mafioso cutthroats who settled in the hotel. they threw me and my family out onto the street! Not to mention that I barely managed to wrest my wife from their dirty hands. Now we're living, or more precisely surviving, in a miserable freezing, slum in Derby street and my goddamn American dollars are as valuable as the rags and tatters I wear for a clothing. I've muddled through all the trash, and I've paced every alley, leaving no stone unturned. I cant find any food nor cigs. Everything's been pillaged. Little Mikey is withering day by day. I must do something. I must do something for my family! Today I scouted around that cursed place they've come to call the Blasted Street. I remain oblivious as to what sort of wickedness hides there, but the area doesn't seem to have been looted yet. If I can just cobble together some kind of armor to protect myself, perhaps I can salvage something that hasn't been sacked and then barter it off for some essentials. Just when that garrulous Hines would have been of some use, the blackguard vanished! I had to listen to him praise his wretched patent for a week. I was so stupid to not pay closer attention. My chances would have been much better with that than with these rags. God please spare me from that sickening dust, give me a chance for my family. "''
