"The moon split. He realized then that the sky was not a sky, and that the illuminated green thing was not the moon but the eye of an enormous dark shadow which spread as a dark blot between Earth and the real sky. The eye looked down at him with horrible contempt, and for a short moment he obtained a realization of the enormity of the being which hung watching above him."


"The air began moving around the moon, and they saw that it was a gigantic eye staring down at them. Around the eye, the sky split, deep clefts opened through which darkness began to ooze, a darkness blacker than the night, which crawled down as a set of slimy tentacles, taking on more form, more definite shape."

Its tentacles found them, as It cracked the houses open like eggshells, and absorbed them and Herbert tasted their small essences in his own extensions, parts of the tentacles of darkness. It melted their bones and fed on the remaining shapeless mess, leaving only wet slimy skins behind."
