Arnold and happens to be one of the most famous short stories ever published in Weird Tales.The story follows two radio operators who happen to work late at night, an anonymous narrator and a man named John Morgan who usually take down the reports of various tragedies from all over the world. However on one night John receives a mysterious bulletin from a town called Xebico, a town that neither of them have ever heard of. The report starts out describing how the city was enveloped by an unthinkably massive fog. The reports only get more disturbing from there.The story itself is available for free on the Weird Tales website and has been anthologized several times, but never by the author who wrote two more short stories before disappearing completely.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

The Night Wire / int_f4d00fb0	comment	Deadline News: The person reporting the titular night wire narrates the events that are destroying the town until the very end. It's this trope twice over, even — John Morgan, the man who received and transcribed the night wire, died during the act in some unknown way and his zombified body finished the job.
