The Abyss Gazes Back

Concept
A viral meme known as the Human Tower Challenge, started by LA-based social media influencer Cody Klout One Hunna, turns out be a scheme to compel millions of youth to unknowingly enact the steps of a dark ritual to summon an ancient Lovecraftian horror called Ix’gulyeth, who, upon drawing from the energy of millions rather than the usual dozens, will surely emerge with catastrophic and impossible power. When the ritual is completed, every single person who has performed the ritual will be consumed by Ix’gulyeth, including three member of Beach Patrol.

Hook
Worrying small tears in the fabric of reality appear across Renwick, promising untold horrors lurking behind them, which at the moment lay dormant and unmoving, but are proliferating at a rapid pace.

Conclusion
Beach Patrol ventures to Los Angeles and confronts the social media influencer, who turns out to be a sinister priest of Ix’gulyeth, and kills him before the ritual can be completed. His death is in no way suspicious, as he is a teen celebrity.
