Messages from a Dark Deity

"Messages from a Dark Deity" is a short Cthulhu Mythos story by American author Stephen Mark Rainey.
==Synopsis==
A reporter who had witnessed some unknown entity during his time covering the war in Iraq begins to see things which others cannot. As the horrific - and largely ignored - murders increase, the daytime stars move into position and the holes in the sky grow larger, while the city begins to quietly burn before all is revealed to a terrified population.
==Characters==
*Owen Blair, a somewhat jaded investigative journalist.
*Debra, Owen's devoted partner.
==Publication History==
"Messages from a Dark Deity" was published in the 2017 thematic anthology Return of the Old Ones: Apocalyptic Lovecraftian Horror by Dark Regions Press.
==Trivia==
*The phrase which Owen overheard a soldier repeat to himself - which he could only interpret as "Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh, cuckoo who’ll fool you, foe tag again, glue a gnarly toe tap" - is a clear phonetic representation of the language of R'lyeh.
