013- Evening Primrose -Elliott Lewis

Did you lose an election bet yesterday? Feel a bad cold coming on? Want to get away from it all? We offer you escape! You were groping in the midnight dimness of a gigantic department store, and suddenly you realize that you're not alone, but a hundred eyes are glaring at you from the shadows, a hundred hands reaching for your throat, and your most urgent desire is to escape.

Escape, produced and directed by William N. Robeson, and carefully plotted to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure. Tonight we escape to the dark labyrinth of a giant department store in the dead of night, to a fantastic world of night dwellers.

As John Collier imagines it in his eerie story. Evening primrose. Assady!

Assady, what's the matter? It's me! Oh Sam, you nearly scared me to death. What do you mean coming in so quiet? I didn't mean to scare you. I thought you'd be asleep. I didn't want to wake you.

Oh Sam, I'm glad you're home. Hey, what's the matter? Oh it's terrible. You got to do something, Sam. Oh, what's terrible? This. Just look at this. What's terrible about that looks like a ordinary patter paper to me.

It just did. That's just what I thought. But it's got writing in it. It's awful. Wait a minute. Maybe you better tell me what this is all about. Well, today I went shopping down at Bracy's department store.

I needed some writing paper so I picked this up. It was on top of the pile and bought it and brought it home. But tonight when I opened it, I found it's got writing in it.
