==Synopsis==
After serving a compulsory five-year term in Hastur's Yellow Guard, Sergeant Long returns home to his family in a world wracked by the conflict of warring abominations. He finds his wife and friends have formed a resistance to Hastur's reign, and agrees to help them strike back against an avatar of the Great Old One. However, at the last minute Long gets cold feet, and strikes a bargain with the being: hand over his friends to the Byakhee, and his family will be spared.
