[ WP ] It is 2028 , 100 years after the publication of `` The Call of Cthulhu '' . A worldwide public service announcement warns everyone to hide because of a certain occurrence in the South Pacific .

Rise of Cthulhu 
 
 I turned on the news to hear the host frantically going on about something. 
 `` Something very large is riding out of the South Pacific'' 
 The host was panicking out of her mind. 
 `` What could that possibly mean?'' 
 The host of the news channel then switched the view over to a helicopter shot of the South Pacific that something was rising out of. 
 `` What could that possibly be?'' 
 I said out loud, more confused than ever. Whatever happened to be rising out of the ocean seemed to be a humanoid figure, standing up after bending down, almost as if they were getting something from the bottom of the ocean floor. 
 It was at its full height now, a face of evil, with writhing tentacles where it's mouth should have been, the eyes were yellow, entirely yellow, it is n't a very terrifying colour, but something about those eyes will haunt me for the rest of my life. 
 As it stretched its arms out I saw arms powerful enough to tear through the crust of the earth, with claws that looked like the jagged edges of a mountain top. 
 He rolled his shoulders and released bat like wings that looked like they were large enough to envelope the sky. It was massive, I do n't know how large but it looked large enough to step on a sky scraper. 
 It then looked at the helicopter and the shot immediately shut off, I can only imagine their helicopter had just been blown to oblivion, along with them. But only with a look? That does n't make sense. 
 It was already late, and with my girlfriend sleeping on the couch beside me I could n't just wake her up and tell her that a giant octopus monster had just rose out of the South Pacific and obliterated a helicopter by looking at it. I started to read online about it, everything I seemed to find online however, was just about what had happened, so I only got a small amount of information out of the little amount of research I was able to do. But what I did get was that this thing, was the dark lord that H.P lovecraft had wrote about 100 years ago, this was Cthulhu. I was immensely tired so, after a while if tossing and turning in my bed with fear for my life over this dark lord, I went to sleep. In the morning ( thankfully it was Saturday ) I told my girlfriend, Bethany, about what was in the news ( strangely in the middle of the night ) 
 `` Good morning Charles'' 
 Beth said with a smile on her face 
 `` Hi, I need to tell you something'' 
 I said looking very concerned 
 `` O-Ok'' 
 She said, her smile fading very quickly 
 `` There was a HUGE octopus monster that rose out of the South Pacific'' 
 I explained to Beth 
 `` What does that mean?'' 
 She asked with just as much confusion I had felt when first seeing that thing. 
 `` Well after looking online, I am pretty sure that Cthulhu, from lovecraft's books, has awakened and has risen out of the South Pacific'' 
 `` That's ridiculous'' 
 She said, with as much disbelief as me telling someone I could fly. 
 `` It's true! I have no reason not to tell you the truth!'' 
 `` You're right, but it does n't make any sense for what your saying to be true'' she said 
 `` Just trust me'' 
 I said with a calm voice 
 `` Ok'' 
 Beth said, sounding defeated. 
 
 
 Apparently Cthulhu had flown from one end of the pacific to the other and was about 600km away from showing up in Seattle, which is where we live. 
 Because of how large he looked I assume he would n't take very long to get here. 
 
 •10 hours later• 
 
 Cthulhu had shown up in Seattle, I was seeing on the news that he was here and he was larger than I had thought, he looked like a skyscraper was a child's toy to it. Over the ten hours it took for it to get there, I had found out that just by merely looking at him would drive anyone insane. 
 People were running through the streets mindlessly, they must have seen Cthulhu unless they were in fear of their lives. Cthulhu had begun to tear the buildings out of the ground with his mind as he walked and kicking them aside with his monstrously large feet. He had started his new reign as the dark lord, he then spoke in my mind, now I do n't know if it was only me or if it was everyone but he said 
 `` I have arisen, all shall bow'' 
 I sat with Beth in absolute horror. 
 `` Charles Aekins, come fourth or gaze upon your home as I reduce it to nothing more than dust'' 
 I was in more horror than I thought was humanly possible. 
 Bethany gazed at me with eyes filled with terror. 
 Then her eyes turned Black, completely, Glossy black. 
 Only for a second, then her eyes filled with what I could only understand to be hunger. Cthulhu spoke through her 
 `` Charles Aekins, come to me'' 
 It's voice sounded like he was talking in an extremely large room, echoing with power. 
 `` What do you want with me?'' 
 I asked with more confusion than I had when I originally saw it. 
 `` You hold the key to the prison of my kind'' 
 He said with sadness and intimidation. 
 `` How could a being with so much power be imprisoned?'' 
 `` It was a temporary spell, cast to hold for thousands of years, short, but they thought it was long enough to prepare for a war between us and your kind.'' 
 `` You think thousands of years is short!?'' 
 I asked 
 `` When you are immortal, and as old as I, thousand of years passes like the growth from a infant to an elder.'' 
 `` I do n't know where or what this key got speaking of his'' 
 I explained 
 `` Oh, but you do'' 
 The dark lord proclaimed 
 `` I do n't'' 
 I said with as much confidence I could muster, seeing as I was arguing with a being who has lived an immeasurable amount of life times, and has the ability to drive me mad with a look. 
 `` Think Charles, is there anything out of place in your life, that could be the key to my kinds imprisonment.'' 
 I thought and thought and thought. 
 Nothing, now I assume that Cthulhu knew what they key was but was toying with me. 
 `` I do n't know what it could be'' 
 I said with defeat 
 Cthulhu responded with 
 `` Well, I seem to have underestimated the intelligence of your kind. They key is the necklace your mother gave you the week before she was murdered.'' 
 I did n't think that was possible, but I complied because there was n't anything I could do. 
 So I retrieved the necklace from my room and brought it to where Beth was sitting. 
 `` Very good, now come to me'' 
 Cthulhu said with an immense amount of victory in his voice. 
 `` O-Ok'' 
 I said, terrified. 
 Cthulhu left Bethany's body, she was immediately dropped on the floor, I was so panicked to get the necklace to Cthulhu that I did n't check to see if she was alive. 
 I made it to my garage with incredible haste and horror. 
 There was no traffic, every one was either hiding or running around, insane. 
 And by time I got there to present him with my mothers necklace something inside of me snapped 
 I lost all control over my self and began switching between screaming and laughing with my new found insanity. 
 Cthulhu spoke once more, this time in the minds of all. 
 `` I am the dark lord'' 
 `` I am terror'' 
 `` I am death'' 
 `` I am Cthulhu'' 
 `` And I am victorious once more, the rest of your world shall fall'' 
 
 And with that Cthulhu levelled the entire city with his mind. 
 
 There were few survivors but that did n't matter, because emerging from the rubble were lunatics, incapable of making anymore human conversion ever again. 
 
 Cthulhu really was toying with me 
 
 And I am talking into a video recorder, seeing how many people have the same story of Cthulhu. 
 
 I was driven mad by the dark lord, just as was expected. 
 
 I was n't special. 
 And the dark lord had destroyed this earth just like countless worlds before.
