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
