A young, blind woman visits her father, but when she gets to his home, everything is off. He has become obsessed with something horrible, seen through his telescope, which he names 'Ihruqax'. Unable to see the thing he's talking about, the woman can only latch on to the clear signs of mental degradation in him, and tries to get him the help he needs. This task is difficult and only reveals deeper, more horrifying delusions in the father.  When she finally persuades him to go to the doctor, there are much bigger problems at stake.
