The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Herbert West: Reanimator by H. P. Lovecraft: from knowing of the existence of such nameless monsters, while
another part arose from apprehension of the bodily harm they might
under certain circumstances do him. Their disappearance added
horror to the situation -- of them all, West knew the whereabouts
of only one, the pitiful asylum thing. Then there was a more subtle
fear -- a very fantastic sensation resulting from a curious experiment
in the Canadian army in 1915. West, in the midst of a severe battle,
had reanimated Major Sir Eric Moreland Clapham-Lee, D.S.O., a
fellow-physician who knew about his experiments and could have
duplicated them. The head had been removed, so that the possibilities
of quasi-intelligent life in the trunk might be investigated.
