For the lazy:

...

Harry knew now how people felt when they were tired of running, tired of trying to escape fate, and they just fell to the ground and let the horrifically befanged and tentacled demons of the darkest abyss drag them off to their unspeakable destiny.

Unpack "unspeakable".

You're welcome.

I've played "Unspeakable Words"... Sadly the rules of the game more or less require the words to be speakable in the first place. :P (That is, that they be standard english words pretty much. Even though the theme of the game is Lovecraftian.)

Ah. I wasn't looking for metaphorical tentacle rape, silly me. Thank you.
