See & Say

The cow says moo. The bird says tweet. The pig says oink. The kitten with one mangled paw says meow. The sheep says baaa. Before you shoot it, the rabies-infested dog says woof. The turkey says gobble gobble. The frog—when squished and sacrificed—says splat-sizzle. The horse says neigh. The duck says quack. The rooster says cockadoodledoo before you break its neck to appease the serpent, which itself says hiss-hiss.

The tiger says reowrrr while the lion just says roar. The wolf says arroooooh. The man says please don’t kill me. The beetle says click-click-click. The owl says hoot-hoot. The vulture you’ve excited says heehhhhh. The crow following the vulture says caw-caw. The burning sacrifice says crack-crack-sizzle-crack. The unthinkable chthonic horror, the wriggling perception of which you can only vaguely scratch the surface of before the totality of its existence drives you insane, says WRWRROOOOORRRRORRR.

And the chicken says cluck-cluck. The donkey says hee-haw. The maddened witness to the rebirth of the elder god says Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn. The monkey says ooh-ooh-ah-ah.
