The Sinking City

"The Sinking City" is a short story by Greek author Konstantine Paradias. It contributes to the expanded Cthulhu Mythos by providing a story about events behind the original Mythos story of Cthulhu.
==Synopsis ==
The story of how R'lyeh came to be submerged beneath the waves. During the war between the Great Race of Yith and the Xothians and Deep Ones led by Cthulhu, a lone Yithian takes control of a human from the present and transports him into the distant past, using his body - which, due to being a creature which does not exist during that time period, cannot be detected by R'lyeh's defences - to infiltrate the great city. Although not making it as far as the centre, the Yithian detonates its displacement bomb, ripping a huge chunk from R'lyeh and causing it to sink. 
==Characters ==
*Unnamed Narrator: a Yithian infiltrator in control of a human body.
*Robert Bendis: the human vessel used by the Yithian, who unfortunately remains conscious throughout the majority of the mission.
*Cthulhu: a Great Old One and enemy of the Yithians.
==Publication History==
"The Sinking City" was published in the Brian M. Sammons/Glynn Owen Barrass-edited anthology World War Cthulhu in August 2014.
