Thornton

Overview

Filed under register ME-1933-O86/6736; cite `thornton` in all outbound correspondence.

Thornton enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.

New England incidents teach a rhythm: polite towns, old families, water or hills that smell wrong, then a paper trail ending in sanitariums. Thornton may or may not follow that rhythm — check dates before you blame Cthulhu for a Vermont landslide.

Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.

European parallels appear in Smith and Howard overlaps; do not merge pantheons without reading both authors in full.

Field Observations

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

If dreams arrive with the weight of memory for places never visited, terminate contact.

The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.

Archive Notes
