To Sea

"To Sea" is a Lovecraftian short story by author Josef Desade. It was published in the digital zine Lovecraftiana Vol 5, Issue 4 by Rogue Planet Press in 2021.
==Synopsis==
A man commits to paper the story of how the world ended: watching from a coastal clock tower, he witnessed as a spore-transmitted contagion was washed ashore by something malevolent lurking in the ocean. Those touched by the spores - virtually everyone other than the narrator - drops dead to rot in the street as the cloud spreads outward. The letter ends with the man encouraging any survivors to join the creature, and himself, in what rapture he claims to have seen beneath the waves.
==Behind the Mythos==
The theme of contagion suggests that the entity responsible for the fall of mankind may have been Hastur, however, the lack of any real evidence makes this conjecture at best.
