The It that came from beyond Imagination – Page 92

Coming up with stuff from the realm of chaos is actually quite relaxing – you don’t have to sweat coherency or logic that much.

It might not make a whole lot of difference concerning the result, naturally, since the stuff I come up with always lacks coherency or logic. But in this case, it’s from simply not trying – unlike the more common case, where it’s from trying but failing. A side benefit being that I don’t mind it so much when I haven’t even tried.

So, yeah…a demonic entity of chaos (and DOOOM!) is watching the proceedings, and as you would expect*, it has an overabundance of eyes. I mean, what’s the point of being relieved from the shackles of reasonable anatomy if you don’t employ that freedom to give your superdimensional watcher/observer more than two eyes? Aside from too many eyes, the creature doesn’t have a lot. Just a vague connection to Humpty-Dumpty. As has been pointed out, the poem doesn’t actually explicitly state that the creature called ‘Humpty-Dumpty’ is an egg – so couldn’t it just as well be a Minor Great Old One with too many eyes?** If I was faced with that choice, I’d sure prefer to be a Minor Great Old One with too many eyesto being an egg. Especially an egg that can’t be put back together again.

I think I should stop writing, since I stopped making any sense quite a while ago. But that fits the subject, so I’ll blame chaos! Or Monday. Monday is also a good explanation.
