Broken spirals,
Discounted wares,
Shattered nightmares,
Empty soul.
Twisted squares,
Howling moon,
Sweating walls,
Beyond sleep.
Dripping slate,
Sinking dirt,
Jumbled reality,
Elder Ones are waiting.
Terrified screams,
Beating drums,
Roasting fire,
"Cthulhu fhtagn!"
Sweat dripping,
Heartrate dropping,
Eyelids closing,
Soul descending.
Dancing ritualists,
Flapping wings,
Slithering tentacles,
"He is Here!"
