The Fall of Cthulhu

Overview

Expedition register ME-1924-B99/9071 — cross-index under slug `the-fall-of-cthulhu`.

In the marginalia of the Latin Necronomicon the name The Fall of Cthulhu appears beside tides, eclipses, or breeding cycles we cannot reproduce in laboratory glass.

No sober cartographer places The Fall of Cthulhu on a map mortals may buy; nevertheless, deeds, drownings, and dreams cluster where the name is whispered.

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.

Description

Sound, when recorded, has been described as wet leather, glass harmonics, or bees inside a skull; analysts note infrasound may explain some, not all.

The thing called The Fall of Cthulhu left no consistent footprint; it left expectations broken in the nervous system.

Several accounts mention a pressure change before sighting, as though the air admitted something larger than the room.

Field Observations

Burn nothing found pulsing; catalogue first, then burn if protocol allows.

Do not engage alone; two witnesses minimum, three preferred if the name was spoken aloud.

What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
