This is what it feels like to be rescued. No one ever thinks about the practical side of it.....nice drabble.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Kimberly! :-)

This is a reference to Lovecraft's "The Shadow over Innsmouth"? Think that adds a certain significance to the use of the word "croaked" in the last line people might miss if they hadn't read that. Nice job.

Thank you, Jonathan. Good spot! I'm very fond of Lovecraft's stories and this drabble certainly does pay tribute to, "The Shadow over Innsmouth", one of the most important tales from the Cthulhu Mythos.

Jonathan Mills about 9 years ago

Thought so - hopefully your stories will convince some people who haven't read that wonderfully atmospheric and gloomy tale to give it a try.

Fantastic as usual Horrorshow.

You're too kind, Josh. Thank you for the lovely comment. :-)

Should probably add this to the Lovecraftian tag if you get a chance.
