"The Unthinkable"

A boy - another Cthulhu cold war story....

This time its the US that has The Big One - namely Azathoth, ready to be released.  Dr. Tsyganov (Russian) and Dr. Doughty (Texan) sit around playing cards in Baba Yaga's hut.  The cold war is over, and tensions are easing, and their jobs are done.  Doughty gets a call from his wife.  Their baby son is "tainted" by Cthuloid whatsis.   

This is a fairly silly little vignette.  I wasn't impressed.  Except for including Godzilla in the Cthulhu Mythos.  That was a nice touch.
