The Wreck of the Kraken

How mean you, when the storm blustered and the clouds broke in two; when the wind howled and broke the mast to dip and sway with the hull; when the Kraken reached his mighty limbs around the entirety of the ship to rend it to splinters and the screams of mortals rent holes in the hearts of giants; when the crack of lightning sang in discordant harmony with waves crashing and wood breaking; when gods watched in horror, too astounded to do anything; how mean you then to say it was by mere accident the ship fell from her proud stature to her dismal fate below?

  1. Wow, if that's not a start to a really phenomenal nautical story, I don't know what is. More Davy Jones or more 10,000 Leagues Under The Sea, I don't know.
