RE: Finish the Story contest, week n. 40 - Hunt Down The Bananafish!
Happy that you dove into the waters to play along with the writers! Here's to the hope that you'll have more opportunities to do so in the future! 🍺
It had been so long, even for it, since the last time when it had been able to whisper a good story.
(Found it funny to read this within your first foray as a contestant. 😁)
Your story reveals to us the immense power and history of the cosmic storyteller. Elegant descriptions poetically paint the scene of the leviathan that is balanced between Aieth and Morrigan (names that hold a wealth of stories). The memory of the choice of the name Bananafish and the references from previous FTS editions are not only a wink to the contest but proof to how it is behind countless stories through the expanse of time and reality.
Compared to an entity such as this, the hunters are, as you put it, mere insects. As the Bananafish unleashed its story to the spaceships, we are shown the true strength of a well told tale. Against the Bananafish, they never stood a chance.
Thanks for such an in-depth analysis, @brisby (and forgive me for my late reply)!
The Bananafish wanted to find another prophet as a channel for his stories but he just found a bunch of greedy asses 😜 Thanks for what you did in leading the contest.. It's been a real success and I hope you had some fun too, notwithstanding judging is not an easy task!
