The Lovecraftian Thing a Day (2018) No.300: Elder Thing Pod


This curious, fossilised object was purportedly discovered upon a nameless plateau near the centre of the Antarctic continent at some point in the 1930s, and was forwarded to me by Prof. Prentiss of Miskatonic Unversity’s Faculty of Geology and Earth Sciences. Since its recent rediscovery within the faculty’s archives, three graduate students tasked with determining the nature of the fossil have either died or disappeared in mysterious circumstances. The item currently sits in my cabinet of curiosities, where its malign, antediluvian influence is held in check by sigils of aversion and powerful apotropaic wards.
