this short short story is not for everyone. i posted a link to it at yog-sothoth.com and i believe it's stirring things up. if you are easily offended, then this should just about do it. "Tentacles of Allah" melds Islam and the Cthulhu Mythos. it's just a brief image capturing a moment of 'reality-horror'. hopefully, you'll find it interesting.

Darrick I have written several that do the same including 'Iman to Come', 'Yazidis Needed' and at least one other. Considering Abdul Al Alzared was Muslim it ain't exactly inappropriate.

thanks guys. i've been getting more into the short short medium, flash fiction, whatever one calls it... i love the traditional short story too.

glad you liked it. i've been reading some scary stuff about the middle east, Islam, etc. it all started with this link: http://www.dansimmons.com/news/message.htm

quite frankly, it blew me away. after reading it i was compelled to write, "Tentacles of Allah". hopefully another such short story will come or maybe i'll turn it into a Call of Cthulhu scenario...

Good story, but I wouldn't suggest visiting any Middle Eastern nations where someone might know that you wrote that. That story could definitely get some mujahideen to go all jihad on your butt.
