Oy was out in North Fells lookin’ faw dropped treasure an’ stuff, and takin’ pictures at th’ same toime. Oy ‘ad gone north a bit and wos wotchin’ the ground when Oy ‘eard a wierd shooshin’ sound real soft an’ sawr somethin’ flash out of th’ corner of me oye. When Oy looked up, there wos nothin’ there.
After a bit, Oy sawr it again, an’ again, when Oy looked up there wos nothin’ there. Oy stared at the spot where Oy sawr it, and a few seconds later sawr it again. It wos sorta far away, an’ it looked like a big rainbow bubble, as big as a house an’ loike when ya can see th’ colors only ifn the’ loight hits it roight.
So Oy aimed me camera an’ waited, an’ sure enough it appeared again an’ Oy got this picture.
It wosn’t no bubble. Oy wotched faw a bit, an’ Oy noticed somethin’ else as Oy wotched.
It wosn’t just a trick of loight. It wos walkin’ around.
Oy never ran so fast in me loife.
That looks terrifying!
More doom! Unit #6! Prepare my aetheric cannon!
bugger!
Give it a giant eyeball, and it’s the Crawling Eye! *grin*
I used to love the Fells… Another place I won’t be able to go because of my Weirdblobophobia.
As horrifying as it is, I can’t help but wonder how it would taste on toast.
Yyyyyyyyikes. That looks nasty. I’ve never seen one of these beasties in person, but I have seen images of them where I originally came from. A few years before I was born, in my original home universe, in a village near my home there… there was an invasion of something very much like these beasties… and things got really messy before they managed to drive the lot of them off. Very, VERY messy.
Some people were actually even driven insane.
I shudder at the thought of these things coming here….
In New Babbage insanity is an entrance requirement (eccentricity will pass in a pinch), so we needn’t fear that. What worries me is that no one really knows how closely related these things are to cotton candy. Could we be eating delicious, terribly unhealthy living creatures? If so, they may be slightly annoyed with us. And I don’t know about you, but I think they look like they could ruin a good party… *shudders*
Tom Pynchon tells the story of a giant Adenoid invading New York, accompanied by a sucking sound, and digesting its victims, whom seemed to enjoy their demise!
It’s the Dunwich Horror, I tell you! The son of Yog-Sothoth!
