| Summary |
"After Two Nights of the Ear-ache" by Francis Hard is a short story published in the late 1930s, specifically within the genre of weird fiction. The theme likely revolves around the exploration of pain and perhaps surreal experiences associated with illness and restlessness. The story unfolds through the inner thoughts and struggles of a narrator who has been plagued by an earache that disrupts their ability to sleep. The protagonist grapples with the torment of insomnia and the longing for relief, blending elements of reality and dream-like reflections. As the narrative progresses, the torment of the earache becomes a metaphor for deeper existential themes, revealing the character's battle against both physical pain and an elusive peace of mind. The poetic opening reinforces this torment, encapsulating the intersection of suffering and the desire for oblivion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
