For we are born of the puddle, for we are of the puddle, for we are the eternal puddle, and for we sanctioned our spillage of blood, for the glory of the ceaseless maw, and the celestial tendrils of Aralath, and who are we even to dare to challenge HIS jurisdiction?
We shall sing for salutations, worships, and prayers upon the depths of Yahm'aiorrag, for judgment has been brought upon these corrupt infidels, as we are the disciples of the depths, the luminous glow of ire, and the ceaseless discharge of Karalash-Shoggoth. So hearken my words, brothers and sisters, hearken to the bringer of good news, and arise!
Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of.
