The Witness of Kitab Al-Azif
Chapter 16. Epilogue: to the Asylum

"Though this jacket is tight, I'm smiling because there is a joy in going mad. The meaninglessness of madness is revealing, in that it no longer leaves one with the compunction to observe the norms of society, which so often obscure the truth and dull the senses. So freeing! I feel reborn. A new perspective is wrought; does it really matter that it involves the worship of Great Old Ones? Oh, the things I now understand about that wonderful book, that beautiful book, the book of the dead with no reserve for minds or matters. The cosmic void has swallowed me, and I will go into it, gibbering and slathering faithlessly! Goodbye John! Goodbye Earth! Goodbye, me."

Chapter 14. Cry of the Great Old Ones

"I can hear the sounds from the other side now, without opening the gate. I hear the noisome and unwholesome creatures from other dimensions. I hear the tortured groans and squeals of small things being devoured. I hear the cosmos unhinge from my dull, mundane earthly surroundings. I hear the cry of the Great Old Ones. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the Gate! Azathoth the daemon sultan, the Blind Idiot God must be kept in slumber by music lest all cease to be is the dreamer! Am I to be his musician? And what of my friend here, trying to keep me in this place? How can I remain here with him given all that I know? It would be madness for me to remain. He must let me go."

Chapter 13. 33 Heartbeats

"They are here. In my world now. I must not have closed the gate behind me as tightly as I needed to. Am I just paranoid or are they hunting *me*, sensing my connection to the gate, hearing my mental music? I counted eleven heartbeats between coming and going, three times hence. Thirty-three heartbeats of silence the whole night. I think sleep deprivation is driving me mad."

Chapter 12. Laboratory Remains

"Home again. My music studio, which resembles more of a laboratory now than a studio, is in a shambles. I destroyed it while recording my insights from last night's unraveling. After my unfortunate glimpsing of the Parade of the Yellow King and his 'festivities,' I feel... unmasked. My mind is raw and sore. I need rest."

In the dark of the night sky, a satellite circles the Earth in high orbit. Invisible to the naked eye, it sends signals back to the Equation Group identifying strange transmissions which describe the exploits of Jon and his Witness.

“The following are excerpts from a recording of a transmission intercepted from the Black Knight Satellite (BKS), provided on the Dark Web by the Equation Group. It is speculated that this recording is a description of an extraterrestrial interdimensional event involving two humans and an unknown alien entity. 

WARNING: Prolonged listening has been known to create psychological dissociation and schizophrenic symptomologies. Listen with caution….”

The Witness of Kitab Al-Azif
Chapter 11. The King

"In my travels through the gate, I witnessed a most horrifying event I can only describe as a "parade of madness." Whether this was organized as a purposeful public display, or my mind merely framed it as such in an effort to bring some order to the madness, I do not know. Immediately after my return, I cataloged the participants in this horrific parade through song (the only way I can effectively express my journey any longer).

(1) Strange "trumpets" coming from an unseen source introduced perhaps the unbelievable site of what is known as a "shoggoth," an immense amorphous mass of intelligent, foul, galumphing flesh;

(2) Servitors of the outer gods drove the shoggoth, as though in chains, with electronic sounding drums and flutes;

(3) The rhythm of the drums abruptly stopped and out of the woodwork of this dark city on the Lake Carcosa came what seemed like endless chanting cultists, all wearing yellow robes;

(4) Flying down from the purple sky were a group of buzzing Mi-Go, the fungi from Yuggoth, servants of the unspeakable King. They spooked the shoggoths which again began rolling their way through the streets of the deformed city;

(5) Star vampires descended as well, becoming visible only as they grabbed dozens of willingly sacrificed cultists and drank their blood until their wilted bodies dropped from the oozing grasp of the vampires;

(6) The Servitors changed the nature of their tune to one that clearly informed the ancient Egyptians thousands of years ago, and again from the sky came a large group of Byakhee, dancing a twisted, serpentine choreography to the sick, chaotic music;

(7) Finally, the unspeakable Yellow King made an appearance at the finale of the mad display, a description for whom for there are no words, bringing a thither of activity from the gathered creatures, human and otherwise.

At this point, I felt safer leaving through my gate to musically record what my mind could grasp of the insanity in the only way I know."
