The scenery in Miskatonic was unlike any other place.
The RV moved ahead following the road sign, and soon the architecture of the city came into view.
At the end of the vast, untended winter fields lay the city.
It was not as bustling as Boston, nor did it have the retro charm of Detroit. As a city dominated by agriculture, Miskatonic was filled with an old-fashioned flavor, and the most striking feature was the houses with their pointed rooftops.
This Gothic architectural style often had a strong religious connotation, perhaps because this French-derived style was mostly used in churches, like the now-burnt-down Notre-Dame Cathedral of Paris.
But ironically, these churches were not built out of religious worship. Instead, they were civil town halls that developed with democracy. And yet, today, they are mostly connected with religion and faith. One can only say that, indeed, time is sufficient to erase all traces.
