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 be 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

Keeper Comments
The scenario states that it can be run for one or more investigators, but 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.
It's nominally a 1920s-Era scenario, but a Keeper shouldn't find moving it to a different time very difficult, keeping in mind that it does involve surgical transplants (which are aided by Yog-Sothoth and magic tomes).
