Bleh ive read this about a month ago. i think at the beggining it was introducing the settings as a darky and stormy felling outside, with the general, a family, and some other people all inside with a fire and coffee. i guess the settings is like a cozy yet tense feeling, since the general starts talking about his journy of the monkeys paw. if u want me to elaborate more or if u need more help, just ask.
