Labels:text | screenshot | font OCR: DARK PORTAL "BESTIAL INFLUX" (Part One) By Andrew Campbell 1993 -1- something: My name is Linda Fairhurst. Before I die, I want to tell you -2- As far as I can tell, it began when I was fourteen, during Uncle Colin's chaotic forty fifth birthday party. It was a celebration for him and a turning point towards death for me. Uncle Colin lived with his wife, a plump, vivacious French woman, somewhere around the southern outskirts of Oldham, in a house much bigger than ours, They had three sons : James, Paul and Francois, all of whom were well into their teens, and I can remember seeing them standing, waiting for my arrival like tom cats watching a hopping bird, in the illuminated front doorway that horrible summer evening. 1 443
