===Synopsis===
 
Across the street from an investigator's home is the house of Bernard Corbitt, a widowed businessman who is fond of gardening and generally well-liked by his neighbors. One Sunday evening, the investigator (possibly in the company of his or her friends) is alarmed when they observe Mr. Corbitt returning home with some packages - one of which appears to contain a child's severed arm.
 
 
In fact, Corbitt is a servant of Yog-Sothoth.  Several years ago, Corbitt was called to India by his father, who had fallen under the influence of Ramasekva - an avatar of Yog-Sothoth.  During a ritual, his father was devoured.  Bernard Corbitt was spared and has served the Outer God ever since.  Returning home and marrying soon after, Corbitt allowed Yog-Sothoth to impregnate his new bride with twins.  One of the twins died in childbirth in Corbitt's house along with its mother; the attending nurse immediately went into a coma, doctors and police were called, and the community shared its sympathies with the grieving widower.
 
 
The undisclosed surviving twin, however, has been hidden away in Corbitt's basement.  An abomination, a mass of tissue devoid of most human organs and limbs, the child of Yog-Sothoth is tended to by Corbitt until the day it can serve as a Bridge

The scenario states it can be run for one or more investigators, but that one of the investigators should own a house in a fairly wealthy part of the anonymous town or city in which the events take place.
 
 
This is presumably a 1920s-era scenario, but a Keeper shouldn't have difficulty moving it to a different time period, keeping in mind that it does involve secret surgical transplants (which are aided by Yog-Sothoth and magic tomes).
 
 
The location of the scenario isn't specifically identified, so it could probably take place in any town or city with a nearby hospital and local newspaper. 
 
 
The scenario resolution is open-ended for the investigators.  Options addressed include destroying the threat, alerting the authorities, just walking away, or even nursing the creature to maturity.
