Hiru Gyamu

"Hiru Gyamu" is a short Cthulhu Mythos story by Australian author Gerry Huntman. It was published in the first issue of short-lived horror magazine The Asylum Diaries by Oscillate Wildly Press in May 2019.
== Synopsis ==
Seventeen year old Isao lands a job chaperoning a group of three young Japanese girls as they spend a little time exploring Sydney, Australia. As the story progresses, he learns that these girls are far from normal, and are in fact cultists of the Great Old One Dagon, in search of a relic which had been stolen from them, and that his family's fate is inextricably linked to theirs.
The girls seduce Isao, before tracking down and brutally torturing one of those responsible for the theft and recovering the missing statue. Making their way to nearby Bondi Beach, they use the artefact to summon Dagon who proceeds to consume the other man who had been in possession of the statue; they then inform Isao that he has been much-honoured, and that now he must walk into the water and feed the risen god. 
== Behind the Mythos ==
Certain details given about the girls, such as a shimmer to their skin which Isao first mistook for cosmetics, hint that they are intended to be Deep One hybrids; this may be further reinforced by their statement at the finale that they may only mate with certain males, and that they seduced him to ensure that their joint bloodlines would continue.
