Hallowed Rock

"Hallowed Rock" is a short Cthulhu Mythos story by the late American author Franklyn Searight. It was published in the first issue of Ron Shiflet's short-lived Lovecraftian fanzine In Lovecraft's Shadow by Tenoka Press in March 2007.
== Synopsis ==
The story is told from the point of view of a sacrificial altar, located somewhere deep in the backwoods, which has long been used as a place of worship by the cult of Nyarlathotep, and has become sentient due to the release of so much dark energy.
After a period of long and lonely disuse, the rock perceives to its delight the return of the cultists with a fresh victim; it’s elation is short lived however, as the cultists notice a small tree in the shape of a cross which has begun to grow from the rock. Believing this to be an ill omen, the group departs the clearing, leaving the rock to its eternal solitude.
