Hello?
How does this work?
Can you hear me?

Fuck.. ok, I think it’s recording.
Listen, if you hear this.
I am in the basement.
I can’t talk for long.

It’s up there.
It’s in the second.

I didn’t let it in, OK?
The power went out, and the window was open.
It’s not my fault.
Fuck, it moves!
It slips!
It doesn’t walk!
It slips!

You need to come and get me.
But not after dark.
Never come after dark.
Never!

Fuck man, please.
Get me out.
I can’t move.
It’s all around me.

I saw its fingers.
They are like snakes.
And they stink.
They smell, I can’t say what it is
old beet roots?

I tried to look at it
it had no eyes.
No eyes!
No eyes!
It had no eyes
But a tongue, fucking tongue

Shit... sh sh sh... quiet.
It’s above me.
Kitchen creaks

I am sending now
Please hurry.
I am serious

If you can’t find me—
tell Sarah I love her.
Tell Edda I am sorry.

...wait.
Can it open locks?
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Where’s the send...

Leave an offering †
Join the secret cult.
