originally published Fungi #16, Fall 1997
Eibon seeks the secret of immortality in the writings of Koth-Serapis, an ancient sorceror (ancient even in Hyperborean times!!). He determines that he must contact the spirit of K-S.
He travels to a distant isle, and finds a spot to perform his ritual. A dhole-like creature appears to him, and snarkily informs him that the secret of eternal life entails become a living, decaying corpse - and if you're cool with that, it can be done.
Eibon realizes that the dhole-like creature is K-S, and is dissuaded from his plan.
An amusing bit of Smith-iana.
