==Synopsis==
Vagrant Serge, desperate to achieve the musical fame which he craves, seeks a boon from a priest of Nyarlathotep at a remote and hidden temple. Seemingly petitioning successfully, he makes his way back to civilisation, ready for the success which he knows must be coming his way.
Howvever, once the man leaves the priest is revealed to be Nyarlathotep itself, who has over the decades engineered Serge's descent into destitution and has in fact granted no boon. This will eventually lead to Serge being consumed by uncertainty and despair, emotions which the Outer God wishes to explore and enjoy.
