The Call of Poohthulhu

Overview

Filed under register ME-1934-B62/3258; cite `the-call-of-poohthulhu` in all outbound correspondence.

The incident titled The Call of Poohthulhu is filed under fiction because the alternative filing — fact — would close several departments.

The Call of Poohthulhu survives as narrative record — plot separated here from the entities it wakes, so scholars need not drown in the same revelation twice.

Photographs in the files show fog, double exposure, and emulsion scars that technicians swear were not present when the shutter fell. We keep them because fraud is easier to disprove than the thing that stood where fraud pretends to be.

If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.
