Wandrei, Howard Elmer Here Lies Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Here Lies" by H. W. Guernsey is a short story published in the mid-20th century, specifically in the October 1937 issue of Weird Tales. The narrative revolves around two elderly friends, Chauncey and Old Shep, blending elements of humor and irony. The likely topic of the story centers on friendship, loyalty, and the often comical misunderstandings that arise between close companions. The plot unfolds with Chauncey and Old Shep living a simple life together, sharing resources in their secluded log houses on St. Paul’s Hill. Their camaraderie takes a turn when Chauncey begins to express interest in marrying their housekeeper, Celia, which leads to unexpected tensions between the friends. When Old Shep dies under ambiguous circumstances, Chauncey decides to entomb him in a crypt he had prepared for himself, marking the grave with a playful epitaph that reflects their shared experiences. The story culminates in a whimsical twist, as Chauncey whimsically tries to communicate with Shep's spirit, suggesting that their bond transcends even death, and highlighting the humor in Chauncey’s struggles to be taken seriously.
