"Of course I had to work on the formula and get it perfect, but now it is ready to be put in containers and sent to each fan. I must not forget any of them, everything must be completely destroyed or my plan will fail. I can not, I must not fail!

"I must make my final plans perfect, there must be no slip ups. I have the latest list of all members and their addresses. Labels must be made for each box. Metal or glass containers must be obtained to put the GRAY FOG in. Ha ha, what a quiet name for something so powerful. I'll put it in containers, pack them in strong boxes, put the labels on and mail them so that every fan will receive his package at exactly the same time, that way they will not be able to warn the others and everything will be destroyed. Ha ha ha ha -- I shall destroy all of their stupid hopes, dreams, and possessions.

"GRAY FOG, as light as the smoke from a burning cigarette. It will strike before they know that anything has happened. They won't even know the cause of the destruction until they have compared notes and then if they are not too stupid, they will realize that the packages contained destruction, but they will still wonder what it was. It is so simple, but they are such fools. I can see it all now. They will open their packages, see the containers and hurry to open them, curious to know what they contain. And all they will see is a gray mist and then instantly the box will be gone and in its place -- GRAY dust. Everything around them that is made of paper will turn to dust. The GRAY FOG will seep into their pockets and eat their money; into drawers to eat all papers; behind frames to destroy pictures; into bookcases to eat every mag and book there before the fans can realize anything has happened. PAPER -- everything made of paper will be dust -- GRAY dust. All mags, manuscripts, originals, first editions, everything gone -- gone -- gone. Fandom turned into a GRAY dust in thirty seconds. Then where will all The Faces be, all of the brains, the clever ones, what can they do? Their very life will be destroyed by me. They they sane ones and I insane? NO!!! They are insane and I am sane. I will prove it to them. I shall destroy them with my GRAY FOG, and show them that I ---- I AM SANE!!!
