>tldr; Looking for a certain Lovecraftian short story.
Looking for a short story I once read. All I can recall is that it took place at a party. A mid 20's man is approached by another well dressed man and it somehow leads to a future vision where Lovecraftian monsters are seen, and worshiped.
One part I distinctly recall is how a gargantuan water creature rises from the depths and a large amount of people bow down and worship him.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
OP edit: I also recall the world being described as a water world, flat as far as the eye can see.
Dagon maybe.
I can only see "The Call of Cthulhu" "Dagon" or possibly "The Festival" as what youre looking for. But even then, youd sort of be combining them.

"He"?
Shadow over Innsmouth?

Was this a Lovecraft original?

Complete works of H. P. Lovecraft are available for free in digital format and should be searchable.

You sure you're thinking of a particular story and aren't just lumping a lot of them together because you read a few back to back a long time ago?
