"Quarter To Three"

by Kim Newman
Originally published Fear #2, 1988

A college student from Miskatonic U. works at an all-night bar and grill in Innsmouth.  One night a cute, but very pregnant, teen girl comes in.  He makes her a fish-burger and manages to get him to spike a couple ginger ales for her, while complaining about the baby's father.  The father shows up.  He is, of course, a Deep One.

This whole thing reminds me of those little "black-outs" they used to do on Night Gallery. Remember those? Anyway, it's amusing enough.
