I shall leave this plane, when this world is a cold cinder orbiting a lightless sun.

I sit here, dead and dreaming, watching the ant-empires of man rise and fall, tower and crumble.

Great Cthulhu is the High Priest of Azathoth. His goal is nothing less than the utter destruction of reality.

So passed my youth.
