The hour was night... when the star called my attention

I hadn't seen it before... since it was covered by a large rug

Finally, I saw it was a star of five points of big size

Decorated with ornamental designs... kind of cabalistic drawing!



Then, I took a chalk and copied carefully the whole design

I sat within it and expected something to happened...

So I recalled invocation rituals but nothing took place...

...several minutes later I remembered the words and spoke them gravely...:



"PH'NGLUI MGLWINAFH CTHULHU R'LYEH WGAH'NAGL FHTAGN..."



Instantly, the most astonishing phenomenon occurred...:



"I found myself looking upon a nocturnal landscape...

...desert vegetation... sandy rocks... the place was spare-of caverns... snow capped mountains

...a landscape that couldn't have been found anywhere..."



Life seemed to be going on within this weird aliens world...



Rattlesnake crawling...

Sharp-eyed hawk soaring overhead...

The Gila monster!



In the meanwhile, bats came out of the caverns' mouth

... then, a kind of human being made its appearance...:



"Rough of skin - emaciated...

abnormally eyes and ears...

ribs showing through its skin..

Outside Dwellers!!!..."



Little by little an enormous creature appeared... at first a tentacle, then another - half a dozen!

An eldritch head showed dimly...:



Horror!...ghastly travesty head

Neckless body... mass of jelly flesh!



Horror!...ghastly travesty head

Neckless body... mass of jelly flesh!



"I realised the thing had a great perception

for it saw me from the beginning, fixed its eyes

upon me and began to move rapidly towards me

through the darkening landscape... total paralysis...-acapo
