ig Jim holds court in the kitchen. He paces, hands on his hips. “The Eldritch Eye is, duh, an eye. Eyes have lenses. The way our own eyes work is: The image of what we see gets projected onto the retina at the back of the eyeball. But it’s inverted because of the shape of the lens. Our brains have to process the image so it makes sense to us.”

Sweet-Tooth flips a chocolate-covered raisin into the air and catches it with his tongue. “That seems kinda needlessly complex.”

Billy chuckles. “So much for intelligent design.”

Big Jim takes back the reins before the conversation degenerates into a free for all. “My point is that the lens of the Eldritch Eye inverted our little Cthulhu Spawn here so that it came through good instead of evil. Cute and dopey instead of huge and mean.”

Slowly venturing from the protection of Billy’s arms, the tentacled blob chirps.

Billy watches the cute jelly critter. “It certainly doesn’t seem evil.”

“Cthulittle!” Jackrabbit snaps his fingers. “That’s its name.”

“Works for me.”

Medusa pats Cthulittle’s head. “Just so we’re clear, the Necronomicon contains pure evil, right?”

“It’s an evil book. Cursed. It can be used as a weapon. That’s why we want it. That’s why my parents kept it locked away.”

“But Cthulittle got flipped by the Eldritch Eye lens so he’s pure good.”

Billy smiles. “Looks like it.”

Cthulittle sniffs around the top of the tiled island at the center of the kitchen.

Sweet-Tooth offers the alien squid a Tootsie Pop. Cthulittle grabs the stick. Peels the wrapper off. Shoves the orange confection into its mouth. It squints. It pulls the pop out and looks it over very carefully.

Sweet-Tooth makes an aww sound. “I think it wants the Tootsie stuff at the center, but it doesn’t know how to get there. I feel your pain.” He pops another chocolate-covered raisin into his mouth. “Well, no, I don’t. That was a lie.”

Metal Max chuckles. “You gotta either have the patience to lick through that shell or crunch it with your teeth, little dude.”

Medusa jostles her brother. “It’s a baby. It probably doesn’t have teeth.”

Cthulittle blinks. Its mouth quivers. That’s clearly not the answer it was looking for. So it bangs the lollipop against the tile. Over and over. Until the hard candy shell cracks and reveals the soft Tootsie at the center. It chirps and sucks the sugary lump from the stick.

Big Jim clears his throat. “Other than this critter from another dimension being cute, where does that put us?”

Billy checks his watch. “Well, I asked the Mi-go to keep an eye on Sturn and to report back what they found. It’s near midnight so that was about two hours ago. Hopefully we’ll hear from them soon.”

Sweet-Tooth yawns. “It’s that late?”

“Yep. And it’s gonna be a long weekend, so everyone needs to put their Big Boy pants on and tough it out.” He glances at Medusa. “Sorry.”

She shrugs.

Billy leans his face close to Cthulittle. The baby alien licks its lips. He smells sugar on its breath. “Now you—what am I supposed to do with you?”

Cthulittle purrs.
