Leaves one hanging on for more! Great visuals of light and dark, and realistic audio of a horrible storm. Then the hair on the arms starts to rise, as do the tentacles from the sea. Brilliant... ...ec

Very effective dribbling. Loved the story and I guessed it had to be a pirate ship to face such a terrible sea and maybe its doom. Great contest entry.
Wishing you the best

Well done! I love the phrase "obsidian mountains" to describe the waves. And the ending is a shocker. You don't have to tell us what happened next, for we can't help but picture it ourselves! :)

Very good - don't see how the pirates stayed on the deck, must have been roped on. But your ending is excellent. The tentacles... Could develop into quite a scary longer tale.

Very atmospheric (groan) piece you've crafted here for the short competition. unusual in flash which is normally more straight to the point. Works though.

best of luck to you

I think you've done a fine job on this entry in this dribble flash fiction entry. There are some great stories about the monsters that come up fro m the depths of the ocean, this is a fine preview, well done, blessings, good luck Roy

What an exciting flash fiction. And, it is beautifully written. I love your obsidian mountain waves and your slowly rising tentacles. I was engaged with every word. I do have to ask though, what is the significance of Kracken and why do you use it for both the title and descriptive line? This is just my curiosity. Your story is great.

I love how rich with drama this story is! Your visual gives it that extra intensity to help sell the mood that you have created with such a limited number of words
