   Devastating news from the Cthulhu Mythos: A massive bicep tears apart an unfortunate prisoner, abandoning its brain to frantically absorb the ocean's essence; a school of fish, driven by hunger, devours and infects its wings, its body bloated and unrecognizable as divine; lacking the power to comprehend the concept of one plus one, its mind clouded and giving up the struggle, a punch pierces its loose, rotting muscles, its divine body detached and on the verge of collapse, its tentacles trembling instead of its heart contracting. A young man ascends to a tentacle-covered planet, his eyes lifeless, devoid of thought; the propellers of the Industrial Revolution aid his rapid ascent, the Great Old Ones are no match for the yacht, a source of amusement, the delusional cult members' frantic explanations only adding to the farce. His divine status crumbles, he falls upon his throne, the people of R'lyeh utterly disgraced; the unscrupulous cult frantically trials heretics, a bloody ritual is held in a mysterious grove, the military police raid, confiscating him and his books. After 50,000 years of waiting to recuperate, the stars return to their places, yet he is still brutally beaten by his predecessors, forced to call for help, only to find no one willing to assist, his only hope being to perform at a circus clown's show.
