Indonesia may be realizing the drawbacks to Prabowo’s recent charm offensive seeking to ingratiate himself with the Trump administration.

A down-on-their-luck writer is offered the backing of a wealthy patron if they ingratiate themselves with a politician, but attracts the attention of a shoggoth.

After a long and arduous struggle, the writer is able to set a trap and vanquish the shoggoth, but they discover the local government
