Peter Illicete posted a blog postRandom Thought's on Death I Suppose

But how little they truly know. They are blissfully ignorant of the eldritch horrors that reside within the deeps, the magnificent creatures that dwell within the core of the earth, or the spirits that are within us all. They outnumber us, and only allow humanity’s continued existence out of a mere whim. This…See More
