The Nightmare Woods
My name is Paul Crag, and I find myself wandering through the desolate woods on this chilling night, an unwelcome guest in the realm of shadows and secrets. The moon's pale visage casts eerie specters that mock my presence in these cursed woods, and my every footfall resonates with a mournful echo, as if the very earth beneath me craves to devour my trembling soul. The heavy forest presses upon my psyche, its bony fingers clutching at my sanity, while an air of unspeakable dread suffuses the nocturnal stillness, tormenting me with a foreboding that gnaws at the very core of my being.

State Fostered Complexitivity and Lovecraftianism Among the Masses Has Brought Us to the Brink of Disaster
When the project was completed, and what we had been working on was finally revealed to the world the reaction was swift. Moral outrage, anger, and fear. It was the most complex system ever created by man, yet it's primary function remained a mystery. The machine was so complex that it was impossible to explain what it was or how it worked to the intentionally under educated masses. The state propaganda machine had been emphasizing the importance of Occam's razor their entire lives. Part of the people's moral code was based on it, therefore that which was complex was viewed as morally inferior and less desirable then that which was simple. Moreover, the masses had been taught that the the state was omniscient. A thing which was unknown, was a cause to be very afraid. The state knew that the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind was fear, and that the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. They had used that knowledge to great effect, but now it threatened the very existence of the state itself. We had to destroy it, the machine we had built, before it could destroy us. On September 26th, 2036 at 10:26 am a ten megaton thermonuclear warhead was launched from an orbiting satelite and exploded at a height of 1 mile directly above the project site, incinerating the machine and everything else within a 100mile radius.

Chaos on The Tobin
Boston, MA | Tobin Bridge Swaying in the wind, while balancing the balls of his feet on the icy railing, sirens and horns screamed in a symphony behind him. His right hand was frozen to an adjacent rail while he reached out with his left, spreading his fingers as wide as they could stretch. His eyes were glued shut while he was mumbled under his breath, repeating the same mantra over and over. This wasn’t a form of prayer, this was closer to a summoning, or a sacrificial offering. Tattooed in the center of this left palm, was a lily sprouting from three flames.
