The Lightning and the Thunder by Dr F W Boreham

Found in F W Boreham's desk and published in the Mercury, October 11, 1952.

The ancients were haunted by a horror of the Furies. The dreaded sisters were tall; of grim and frightful aspect; each was wrapped in a black and bloody robe; serpents twined in her hair, and blood trickled from her flaming eyes. With swift, noiseless, and unrelenting footsteps, they pursued their wretched victims.
