  9. IEEEE!!! Madness! The Crawing Chaos! on Part One: Information Arts · · Score: 1
    Those two little words that bring terror to my day:

    Part One


    Screamingly sentient, dumbly delirious, only the gods that were can tell. A sickened, sensitive shadow writhing in hands that are not hands, and whirled blindly past ghastly midnights of rotting creation, corpses of dead worlds with sores that were cities, charnel winds that brush the pallid stars and make them flicker low. Beyond the worlds vague ghosts of monstrous things; half-seen columns of unsanctifled temples that rest on nameless rocks beneath space and reach up to dizzy vacua above the spheres of light and darkness. And through this revolting graveyard of the universe the muffled, maddening beating of drums, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic, tenebrous ultimate gods the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul is John Katz.


    Deepest apologies to H.P. Lovecraft.

    Of course he was'nt, as he could not see into the future. I, however, can take that into account, and still feel that if you give up your freedom for security, you don't deserve either.
