: The Elder Bass arrived. The box looked like it was breathing. I'm sure it was just the heat. One of the cats got tangled up in it somehow.

: Accidentally cut myself on the metal. I thought I heard a wet gasp in the room.... Must have been one of the dogs.

: That's weird... the sun just got darker, like a cloud went over it, but there aren't any clouds. The pets are really upset. Weird.

: Looking at the bass gives me a headache, like one of those relaxed-eye pictures. I think I need to put it up. Pictures first, though.

: I put the Elder Bass in the basement but found it in my bed a couple of hours later... I must have moved it up here, but I don't remember.

: I keep hearing the phrase, "C'thulhu fhtagn," over and over, but like it's being gargled. And the pronunciation is strange, keeps changing
