    That’s where they keep the people from Innsmouth after raiding the town back in the 1920s.

    But soon we will wake the Old Ones, and all of the wastrels and the greedy and the human garbage will be cleansed by ice and deep water. The Earth will sink and the Seas shall rise.

      The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
