RE: Here There Be Monsters [Shipwreck Creative Writing Prompt Round 2]
This is a really great story! On my first year at university, one of my teachers loved the leviathan. We had to write an essay based on it. Now I want to look for it and read it again xD I loved how the story progressed, is it actually under 1500 words? If so, I'm impressed. Also I didn't see the smoke stacks coming. Can't wait to see what you come up with for Round 3 :)
Thank you! I think the key about world building in under 1500 words has to be reliance upon things that people already know or assumptions made. So I hoped with the few hints at the beginning that one would think of this as a medieval Viking sort of time period, rather than post-apocalyptic.
Still mulling over what to do for Round #3 :)
