Keep the Aboleth Out of the Water
Read Aloud
The water heaves against the dock and black slime skins the boards. A pale eye breaks the surface, and the thing beneath it mouths at you like it already knows your names. Sideways in the shallows, crab-clawed hunters rise to block the steps while the aboleth angles for the water and waits for one of you to fall in.
