Claimed by the Cthulhu - Wendi Guff Shared by:CheerUpMeLads Monster speed dating—sounds fun, right? My life as a marine biologist takes a slippery turn when I mistake a Cthulhu for an octopus, only to find him seated across from me on date night. Now, every time I turn around, he’s there. Watching. Winking. Waiting until I succumb to his charm. But I’m not ready for love. I have my studies, a mission to save the ocean, and a secret darker than the deepest depths of the sea. Will Chaos claim me as his, or will I run from him like everyone else in my life? Lovecraftian, but not so much Cosmic Horror.
