== Synopsis ==
Miskatonic University resercher Dr. Darius believes himself to be writing a cautionary work about the extraterrestrial dangers facing mankind, and relates the tale of how, after discovering a copy of the fabled Necronomicon, he was led to a chamber hidden below the Great Sphinx of Giza. Beneath the chamber he discovered a portal to the ruined city of R'lyeh, within which terrible forces were beginning to stir. Driven half mad, he fled before collapsing into unconscious.
The story concludes with the revelation that Darius is in fact incarcerated in a mental health facility, and in his insanity believes that the doctors are his peers, come to hear his dire warnings.
