It's Thursday, the 10th of May, 1923. A hazy dawn breaks over Arkham's French Hill, patched clouds allowing only a few sparse, pallid rays of sun across the tallest of Arkham's squat, crowded architecture. From the north end, the Miskatonic River babbles grey and cold. Gradually, a few residents begin to appear out in the narrow, choked streets, secreting along to their morning businesses.
Henry Mosser, a good natured veteran of the Great War, was said to have disappeared some time between the evening of May 7th, and the morning of May 8th. A squalid group of individuals with close ties to the missing man have joined together in a ragtag search party.
