description: November 1938: Professor Paul Harding has come to Passamaquoddy Maine to study Oracupoda horibilis common surf shoggoths known to locals as jellies. He finally finds a fisherman willing to take him out on the bay where dormant shoggoths bask atop exposed rocks bloomingthat is exuding indigo and violet tendrils topped with fruiting bodies from their blobbish sea-green masses. Though shoggoths can engulf and digest grown humans in this torpid state theyre safe to approach. The trip out is uncomfortable. The fisherman doesnt fancy conversation with a highly educated black man first hes ever met. Ironic Harding thinks that they probably both served in WWI though of course not in the same units.
