Polaris by H. P. Lovecraft
In a dreamlike narrative, the protagonist finds himself in the ancient city of Olathoë, located in the land of Lomar, where he is tasked with guarding against the impending invasion of the Inutos, a barbaric tribe. As he gazes upon the celestial body Polaris, he becomes entranced and falls into a deep slumber, only to awaken in the modern world, questioning the reality of his experiences. Torn between two worlds, he grapples with the haunting fear that his failure to stay vigilant may have doomed the city, blurring the lines between dreams and reality in a tale of cosmic insignificance and existential dread.
