I do hear the occasional siren of the passing police car, ambulance, and fire truck, but not enough to cause concern. There does not seem to be a lot of crime, or moreso than anywhere else I suppose. I do not like going for walks at night very often, and I do not think I am the only one, because there are not too many people about on the streets past 10PM. Like a storm that is approaching but you cannot quite tell in which direction it is coming because the buildings and trees block your view of the horizon, and eventually the storm passes anyway. There is a strange sense of foreboding in the air at times. I cannot for the life of me put my finger on it. I will tell you now, however, that there is something not quite right about this place. There is a cemetary right down the road, so in the event that anything were to happen to me, they would not have to travel very far to dispose of my corpse! Ha! The next time that I write you I shall go into more detail about some of the people that I have met, a few of the interesting places that I have been, and the events that have taken place around town. ![]() At least it is quiet on Sunday mornings, and I must confess, no pun intended, that I do rather like the church bells. Though I no longer practice and even once abhorred the catholic church during my youth, it is not so much a point of contention the older I get. Everything is in walking distance, although it is quite a hilly region, so one does get quite the work out! My legs are actually aching as I write this! There are a lot of churches here too, moreso than back home. Trying to remember street names, the different shops and parks in the area, and what not. I’m still getting my bearings in regards to becoming more acclimated with my surroundings. It is clerical work, but it pays well enough so that I can pay my rent, bills, and keep food in the fridge while I attend Miskatonic University, which you know is the main reason for my moving here. Fortunately I was able to land a job at one of the local law firms. There are not a lot of jobs available or companies to work for, though I see that they are trying to rebuild some sections of town, so there is hope. But many of the houses with their gambrel rooftops are unkempt and even abandoned. There are some homes that are well maintained and appear to be owned by affluent folk who most likely own the local businesses. ![]() Many of the people here are poor, and that truly breaks my heart. This place is not at all like our hometown, I can tell you that! It is reminiscent of an old mining town. However, the building appears to have been built in the 19th century! Its bones rattle and creak with even the slightest amount breeze! Sometimes I think I even hear mice in the walls! Ha! The neighbors have all been nice so far, just like many of the locals that I have crossed paths with. I get plenty of sunlight during the day, which is what my psyche needs. I am in a nice little apartment on the second floor with a living room that faces the street. I have been here now for a couple of months and I am finallyjust starting to feel settled in. However, it sure did a number on my anxiety! And I will write more about that further down. So, where should I begin? Well, as you now know, based on the return address on the envelope accompanying this letter, I am now a proud resident of Arkham, Massachussets! Hurrah! The move was a great success and much less trouble than I thought it would be, of course I own but a modest amount of possessions. ![]() I hope you are doing splentastically well! I do apologize for writing you so late, but it is only until now that I have been ale to set aside all distractions and dedicate my time to writing you a proper letter. I hope this letter finds you fairing well! No, strike that. Official text behind the letter written in the video:
