Twinkle, twinkle, giant Ghroth...Twinkle, twinkle, giant Ghroth,
How I wonder where you go.
Up into the sky so vast,
Like a nightmare that will last.

When the mortals' hope is gone,
Whose wretched world you shine upon,
Then you show your giant eye,
Twinkle, Ghroth, the end is nigh.

The scary Haunter of the Dark
Thanks you for your eldritch spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.

On Yith, Yaddith, Cykranosh, Xoth,
From Celaeno to Yuggoth,
They all fear your spooky eye,
Twinkle, Ghroth, the end is nigh.

As your eerie, awful spark
Bodes doom and chaos in the dark,
I don't know where you are to go,
Twinkle, twinkle, giant Ghroth.

I still traveled into the desert. The sun was hot and bright, scorching the sand beneath us even more.

Aswad was sweating hard, mostly because he had black hair. He is a beautiful steed, but even he has his weaknesses.

I stopped for noon prayer. I got off my horse, and laid my mat down towards the direction of Mecca. I prayed that I would

be able to fight the ghouls that have been attacking this small village. I do not know if they serve the evil God

or not since ghouls are usually like mercenaries. They do what any evil being does as long as they have a corpse

to eat. I got there by evening, and the place appeared to be abandoneRazu 33 years ago in Fantasy

Nyarlathotep's MoonThe smart, the fair, and the wise
Build unbreakerintoable places
Those who breed reptiles of the mind
Breeze through life like they’re aces
On the wintertime winds of the nethersky

Daemonical hints of imagination
A perfect winter day
Ruined by the hellish moon-glint of evil snows
We run from the city
From the blackness of the Messenger from the Stars.
And his poisonous smile.

Now, we cannot sleep
We of the swampy minds
Better to die exhausted
Than to have those nightmares one more time.
Fear and hope are no longer vision
All we can see in sleep is Death’s door.
Soon we can recline on couches of the dead

"But reality is just what we tell each other it is. Sane and insane can easily switch places. If insane were to become the majority, you would find yourself in a padded cell, wondering what happened to the world." – Julie Carmen, "In the Mouth of Madness"

Hego walked into the front office of Arkham Asylum up to the receptionist behind the counter. She put down the phone and looked at him with joy in her eyes. She was happy to see the hero of Middleton making a visit. He may not be wearing his uniform, but she could recognize him.

Innsmouth, Massachusetts
October 21st, 1992

The trucks made their way down the mud covered road towards the old town that looked as if it had seen many nasty storms through the centuries it had existed. The walls of the small buildings and houses had a tint of deteriorated blue, seeming to have rotted over time in the rain and debris.

The Beating of Dark WingsA black heart, full of lies
No one may live after looking in your eyes
In your laughter I hear tortured cries
On twilit wings you´ll make the night arise

Our sunset palace of marble and sand
A lethal height above the land
Many souls obey your command
Far does it reach… your dark hand

A black passion runs in your veins
Mortal souls show unholy stains
Until we are all that still remains…
Over this realm… the Sunset City reigns

We will fly once more, hunting them all
They will learn to fear our call
The lords of the living cities will come to fall
And we´ll be what history will recall…

“It is astonishing just how much of what we are can be tied to the beds we wake up in in the morning, and it is astonishing how fragile that can be.” Neil Gaiman, Coraline

The unfamiliar sun streamed down through the window, giving everything within the room a glistening effect. The blinds were only partially shut to let in the bright ultraviolet rays. It was, however, a welcomed sight from the opening eyes of Sam. It was as if her mind was experiencing it for the first time, her mind restarting itself with new memories and new senses of joy to face.
It was then that Sam recognized where she was, in the bedroom of her apPhantoms of Silent Hill Epi.4 years ago in Horror

'Since the recent reemergence of Shadows, I've been in contact with a group of Persona users in Inaba.' Mitsuru had gathered them all in the Dorm lounge, just after breakfast. 'They've also reported Shadows emerging during the last emergence.'
'It's not just here?!' Yukari gasped. 'We... We can't stop them across the entire world!'
Mitsuru held up a hand to silence her.
'I've also made contact with a group of Persona users in Sumaru City. They've stopped the attacking Shadows there too.'
'Do you think they'll return?' Ken wondered.
Mitsuru hung her head sadly. 'I wouldn't doubt it..'

The MessengerOut of the eternal darkness I come,
Changing from shape to shape,
Walking on both worlds,
Creating suffering as my shadow spreads,
Leaving madness in my wake,

I answer the summons of my masters,
Serving beings of insanity,
Fulfilling the bidding of the lords of beyond,
The sound of the infernal flute follows me as they play,
I go forth in their name,

As I set foot in the world of men,
The very earth shakes at my coming,
Bringing forth the monstrosities of the void,
The souls of humanity I take,
In the minds of men I stalk,

I am a destroyer of worlds,
I am the black pharaoh dementia,
I am the messenger of the Outer Ones,

Yes, Doctor.Yes, doctor.
It was a vampire bat
That sucked my blood
In that church last night.

Not a ghost or a ghast,
And it certainly wasn't
Something i summoned
From another dimension,
I didn't slit my wrists.

Yes, doctor.
What i just said was gibberish,
Not a magic spell.
It spews out of
my mouth sometimes.

Sticks and stones can break your bones
But words can never hurt you.

Yes, doctor.
I know i've gone insane
You can ask me and poke me
And consult your books,
But you'll never solve my mystery.

Anyway, it doesn't matter
I'm not important anymore.
I've served my purpose,
Done what was needed

P3: Shadows of Consciousness (3)Night settled on the Dorm. Everyone returned to their beds, leaving the gnomes illuminated in the moonlight. Three figures crept down the street, approaching the door to the Dorm.
'Why are we doing this?' The oldest of the three demanded.
'Sh!' the middle one hissed. 'You're going to give us away, Margaret!'
'Why are we breaking into their house?'
'I told you already! There's something in there we want!'
'Something you want...' Theo corrected her.
'You want one of those gnomes, don't you...?' Margaret realised.
'It's to make the Velvet Room look nicer!'
'You can carry it by yourself!' Theo snarled. 'Why am I here?!'

Faceless Sphynx You mustn’t think I’m insane, I am only saying what I saw – what I know. True, I have never seen my reflection – but that is because I can see beyond what others can. You laugh because I shun mirrors and fear the dark… But – God! If only you know what I have seen! Yea – I have looked into the very heart of the universe, and have beheld Him – a daemon-sultan, Lord of All, kept in check only by the thin piping of unknown daemon flutes.

Invocation Of The Old OnesThese demons may lie dormant
But they do never die
They will rise again
To rip this world awry
Lord Cthulhu partakes of his ancient slumber undisturbed
In his fortress submerged
R'lyeh
He lies dead but dreaming, unconsciously observes

When the stars are right
And the heavens correctly aligned
The dark lord will rise from the sea
To destroy mankind

Recitate the sacred passages of the Necronomicon
A book bound in human flesh and inked in blood
Chant the unholy incantations to invoke the old ones

The dreaded lord has slept for an eternity
But the time comes of his dominion
Death and destruction, all that's left for humanity

The Prophecy of ZarahThe discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the early part of the 20th century is one of the most important episodes in the field of Bible scholarship. They have been studied and transcribed for decades, so it was quite a shock when an unnoticed Hebrew text was found in the collection. The theology of this text, apart from references to Sheol (the abode of the dead) and the primordial chaos monster Leviathan, is quite unlike anything found in the Qu'mran community, the Bible or the Ancient Near East as a whole. Here is the entirety of the text, as translated so far:

I'm sitting in a chair in a dark room. There's a desk in front of me, and I can't help but take in every detail of it. It's what I've been taught to do. There's a slightly dirty mug filled with water I'm not going to drink in front of me. Next to it is a big urn thingy filled with even more water, should I get real thirsty. The desk has seen a lot of punishment. One of the legs is shorter than the rest, meaning I can't really rest my arms on this thing, or it'lWendigo1 year ago in Short Stories
