00:00This man discovered something eerie. The hotel was mysteriously shrinking, to verify this
00:03terrifying suspicion. He tied a rope between the walls at both ends. By dawn the next day,
00:08the once-taught rope had slackened. This meant the distance between the walls was shrinking.
00:11This discovery instantly sent him into panic. Even more shocking was the fact that this hotel
00:15had no exit. The chefs and guests had lived here for 10 years, except for Jeff. No one in the entire
00:20hotel seemed to notice the truth, when he frantically told the chefs. They simply kicked
00:24him out of the kitchen. Jeff never imagined. He'd merely sawed lodging at a hotel. Waking up
00:28greeted him with a nightmare. The next day, as he dragged his luggage to leave. The staircase at
00:32the end of the corridor vanished. Replaced by a solid wall, yet he clearly remembered, ascending
00:36those stairs just the night before, as confusion gripped him. The corridor suddenly trembled,
00:40pipes rattled within the walls. Followed by vibrations rippling through the structure,
00:44amidst flickering lights. A hidden door opened at the base of the wall, even more bizarrely.
00:48A band emerged from the narrow passageway, and began advancing toward Jeff. Terrified,
00:52he fled immediately, as he retreated. He encountered two elderly women, struggling to push a sofa
00:56out the door. Jeff rushed to assist them, when they learned Jeff had been searching for an exit.
01:00They whispered something, that instantly made Jeff feel uneasy. He returned to his room. Outside,
01:04the band continued playing. Cooks pounded out the same rhythm. Even the pipes and window frames
01:08vibrated. This eerie symphony, made Jeff clamp his hands over his ears. Then the window shattered
01:12from the walls crushing in, as he rose to look outside. Fear gripped Jeff. He had to find a way out.
01:20He marked the hallway walls, searching for an exit. But when he peeled away a loose strip of wallpaper,
01:24the sight before him filled him with horror. Beneath the paper lay unidentifiable tentacles.
01:29Slowly writhing within the wall, as he fought back nausea, and cautiously pressed down.
01:32The revolting tentacles reacted. This terrified him into rushing back to his room. But when he
01:36pushed open the door, all the other tenants were crammed inside. Furious, Jeff grabbed them up,
01:41and drove them out of the room. Now Jeff felt utterly helpless. His gaze fixed blankly on the ceiling.
01:45When suddenly, the chandelier above began spinning eerily. Then the bulb fell beside him.
01:49When Jeff looked up, the old women peered out from the hole. They knew Jeff had encountered
01:52trouble while searching for an exit. They kept reassuring and encouraging him. But Jeff was numb
01:56now. Jeff never dreamed that behind his bedroom wardrobe lay a hidden, deep passageway. The
02:09passage's walls still writhed and pulsed. Resembling the visceral tracks of some creature. After a
02:13moment's hesitation, Jeff finally crawled inside. For this passage seemed the only way out. But as he
02:18neared the end. The sight before him stunned him. It wasn't an exit at all. It was an egg.
02:22A Cthulhu egg. Yet Jeff felt no fear. Instead, a profound emotion welled up a sense of awe for
02:26new life. As he pressed his hand against the egg's shell. He could distinctly sense the Cthulhu's
02:30consciousness. The entire hotel was a living brood nest. Constantly contracting to nurture this
02:34sacred egg. Explaining why the building had been shrinking. Just then, the door burst open.
02:38Other guests swarmed in. Rushing one after another into the passageway. Mercilessly trampling the
02:42tentacles. Each crushing step made Cthulhu scream in agony to rescue Cthulhu from the guests.
02:47Jeff strained to push the egg into the passageway. When he opened his eyes again,
02:50he found himself in the depths of the ocean. Cthulhu approached from behind,
02:54enveloping him in its tentacles and guiding him toward the light on the surface.
