No Shield from the Dead

"From beyond the closed door of the room, a high-pitched humming was barely audible. It grew in volume, going up the scale.

Then, as if all will had at last gone out of him, he stopped in the middle of the room and closed his eyes. For a fraction of a moment he stood there, before a faint convulsion seized him and he fell."
