Glimpsing Beyond the Veil
In a converted billiard room flooded with light from a glass dome, Dr. Raymond prepares to conduct an experiment that will forever alter our understanding of reality. He explains to his friend Clarke that he intends to perform brain surgery on a young woman named Mary to allow her to perceive what he calls "the real world" that exists behind the veil of ordinary perception. When seventeen-year-old Mary arrives, dressed in white like a sacrificial lamb, she willingly submits to Raymond's procedure. After administering a mysterious green substance and performing surgery on her brain, Raymond succeeds-Mary awakens with eyes shining with "an awful light," reaching toward something invisible. Her initial wonder quickly transforms to abject terror as she falls shrieking to the floor. Three days later, Raymond shows Clarke that Mary has become "a hopeless idiot," remarking with clinical detachment, "after all, she has seen the great god Pan." This opening scene establishes the central premise that echoes throughout the narrative: some knowledge is forbidden for good reason, and glimpsing beyond the veil of reality carries terrible consequences. What if the comfortable world we perceive is merely a protective illusion, shielding us from cosmic horrors that would shatter our sanity?
