It's 85 F in our house right now - I have no idea when I'll be able to get to bed. All the windows are open, two fans are blasting...and this scribbler is feeling pretty wilty!

Indulge then, in a weird tale presented by Suspense based on the 1910 short story by W.F. Harvey. According to Wikipedia, the show was broadcast on radio 3 times (all three episodes are available here):

The story has been adapted for radio three times: twice for the radio series Suspense in an adaptation by Mel Dinelli and produced/directed by William Spier (on May 31, 1945, starring Ronald Colman as Withencroft and Dennis Hoey as Atkinson, and on March 20, 1948, with Barry Kroeger as Withencroft and Dennis Hoey again as Atkinson) and once for Sleep No More on November 28, 1956 (with Nelson Olmsted reading an abridged version of the story).
