Comrade, Rachmaninoff…
This report you’ve submitted is… concerning to us.
You say this creature, this “Piano Demon”
Was hiding out in a church in Moscow
Right under our noses?
It is equally troubling and impressive
That you were able to subdue such a monstrosity in such a way
So let us make sure that we are absolutely 100% clear on what happened that night.
The night was dark and damp
And cold as ice
Seeping from the church, a dark tune chilled your bones
Swiftly hence you ran
Out through the night
What dread awaited you when you arrived?
Then what proceeded to happen next
Defies reality
According to your account
This is what you saw when you entered that church—
Had keys made of bones
Tendrils lengthy like a squid
With its maw, full of teeth
Drooling underneath its lid
You were caught in its grasp
Bound tightly, were trapped, and then…
The fight crescendos to fortissimo!
The battle was hard and well-fought, nevertheless—
Deep inside your mind
Where nightmares breathe
Must relieve your painful failed first symphony
Overcame the blight of misery
And slayed this beast of disharmony
You just earned one glimpse of horror veiled in vast unknown
Do not worry.
I, Comrade Nikolai Dahl
Will assume the role of your therapist.
No one shall ever know the truth of what you have done here
However…
The notes played on the keys of fate will forever ring in the ears of those brave enough to hear it as it ripples out through time for all eternity!
