The Things I Have Seen U/Darth
[HR] The things I have seen u/Darth_Wholesome First time posting a story.This is my attempt at a lovecraftian horror short story. I hope it's not complete garbage and you enjoy. Also feedback is greatly appreciated.
In my time in the field of archaeology I’ve come across my share of wondrous and unexplainable discoveries.

After two hours of travel we came upon a clearing with a sickly green lake placed in the middle of it. The Lake looked like a festering wound with various outgrowths reach out of the watery
