Cthulhu waits dreaming

[spicefiend]

I find myself in a poorly lighted wasteland. There is dark clouds overhead and dark mist everywhere else. From time to time, a thunderbolt would strike the surface of this dead land and briefly illuminate the crags and tooth shaped rocks raised soberly from the ground. I did not want to be here and had only come to find my boyfriend. He was lost, but I could feel his presence within the dark mists that crept mournfully about this godforsaken place. So I plunged into the mist and called out for him. It seemed I roamed for a while, sometimes walking clear out of the fog. I hadn't given up though because it felt that I was hot on his trail. It wasn't much longer when I find him. I stand before a swirling form of black shadow and I know he is just beyond on it. I step forward and reach with my hand into the shadow to grasp him. A dark tentacle whips around my arm, but after a short struggle I pull free and step quickly back. A black mean-eyed octopus emerges from the shadow roaring gruesomely. He is enormous, the bulk of him a mass of large, writhing, reaching tentacles that extend towards me. At first I am only puzzled, thinking, "I thought octopuses were friendly." And I recall the local stories of large, colorful octopuses living under Deception Pass bridge who don't seem to mind the curiosity of humans. Surprise turns quickly to terror as the beast pushes his obese body towards me. I futilely struggle to get away but his arms have wrapped around me now and I hear myself scream. And I woke up screaming, finding myself at the foot of my bed.

ugh i have had to deal with that thing too, though it was smaller, but its presence was overwhelming, it looked like a nautalis to me the evil it radiated was enough to shock me awake, not a pleasant experience.

Ah Cthulhu. "Cthulhu rests in a tomb in the city of R'lyeh, which sank beneath the Pacific Ocean aeons ago. Cthulhu is dead but not truly dead, as he and his fellow inhabitants of R'lyeh sleep the aeons away. (Cthulhu is generally thought of as a "he" for some reason.) From time to time R'lyeh comes to the surface, and <span style="color:red">Cthulhu's dreams influence sensitive individuals across the globe to depict his image, slay, and found cults dedicated to him.</span> In the past, R'lyeh has sunk after a short time, but the day will soon come when it rises to the surface permanently and great Cthulhu strides across a world thrown into chaos and anarchy from his telepathic sendings." <img src="http://members.iquest.net/~drivers/images/cthulhu.gif" border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> "Jesus loves you just the way you are. Cthulhu thinks you need some barbecue sauce."

Someone told me about Cthulhu after I had that dream. What a story! I've been a dedicated Lovecraft reader since then. Thanks for the feedback! What is a nautalis?
