"The Little Glass Bottle" by H.P. Lovecraft

This story was written by Lovecraft when he was only 8 years old! Adjust your expectations accordingly...

If you go look at the link provided, you will see it is transcribed as Lovecraft must have written it, with mostly missing punctuation and all. Punctuation wasn't exactly a strong point for me either at that age ;-)

The pictures used is the chart as included in the story, presumably drawn by young Lovecraft himself.

While there's no compass on the map, if that's supposed to be the Indian Ocean, then the bit of Australia shown should be the western coast. So it looks like the top of the map is south? Hmmm.... Or maybe geography was taught a bit differently 1898.
