Shadow Transit

"Shadow Transit" is a Lovecraftian short story by author Ferrett Steinmetz.
==Synopsis==
When Michelle's daughter Lizzie begins to communicate with a colossal entity sleeping beneath the ocean, she is taken by a shadowy government organisation which specialises in training children in the use of their abilities. On one of her monthly visitations, Lizzie tells her mother a terrible secret: that the Dreamer is on the verge of awakening…
==Characters==
*Michelle, a mother struggling to cope with the powers manifested by her ever-more eccentric daughter.
*Elizabeth "Lizzie", a young girl gifted - or cursed - with a mind which can communicate with an inhuman being.
==Publication History==
"Shadow Transit" made its debut online on Buzzy Mag in July 2013. It was given an audio reading in Pseudopod #418 in December 2014, and was included in the Kat Rocha-edited anthology Whispers from the Abyss Vol. 2: The Horrors That Are & Shall Be in October 2015.
==Behind the Mythos==
Although never explicitly stated, the slumbering behemoth referred to as the Dreamer is implied to be the Great Old One Cthulhu, as Lizzie knows the date of its awakening, presumably the date at which the stars are right.
