Incident at Dagon Wells

"Incident at Dagon Wells" is a short Cthulhu Mythos/western story by American author Ron Shiflet.
==Synopsis==
In America’s old west, a trio of outlaws on the run from hostile natives take refuge in the abandoned outpost of Dagon Wells. What they do not realise is that the waystation lies on the site of a breach between worlds, and as night falls and creatures begin to emerge from beneath the earth, the three become part of a repeating cycle of events.
==Characters==
*Lonnie Otwell, outlaw.
*Tom Hawkins, outlaw.
*Jamie "Frog" Jenkins, outlaw.
==Publication History==
"Incident at Dagon Wells" was first published in the anthology Frontier Cthulhu: Ancient Horrors in the New World by Chaosium in November 2007. It was later included in the Ron Shiflet collection They Thrive in Darkness: Mythos and Madness in June 2018.
==Trivia==
*Although not explicitly stated, the enormous creature which rises from one of the outpost's wells is implied to be Dagon himself, although why Dagon, a being most often associated with the ocean, would choose to manifest in the middle of the desert is not explained.
