Wow!
I didn't see that coming.
A well written and super dribble flash fiction entry.
Great choice of topic and complementary image .

You did a good job with your contest entry, Miranda. I enjoyed reading it. Your words mare well-chosen and create great imagery. Your words lead up to a suspenseful ending, too. Thanks for sharing and best wishes, too. Respectfully with Admiration, Jan

Oooooh I loved your flash fiction story. I also liked "let's get kraken." You did a wonderful job of setting the scene and drawing the reader in. I almost got chills when I read the word "tentacles." Great job!

Hello Miranda. It is an action filled flash fiction story. I find the subtitle to be very amusing. It has to be a Kraken, giant squid or a humongous octopus to do that sort of stuff. Kraken sounds reasonable. Robert

Oooh, you left this at such an exciting place...right at the edge of a cliff formed of fear. So many questions rise to the surface--did those deckhands breathe their last? Were they so wide-eyed they couldn't even think about hiding? Was the entire ship doomed? I really enjoyed reading this excellent posting!

I really like this. They must have seen the mythical kraken. I love the descriptive wording you've used in this. The line that stands out to me is "waves like obsidian mountains." I love it! I've enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done!

Great writing in this flash fiction story about a ship on the high seas experiencing a terrible storm. You have chosen the perfect picture, and great idea to include the image of the octopus. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

Suspense and fear in front of the obsidian waves tall as a mountain. Human nature it's a curious nature, therefor is going to be the perish of the pirates that stayed to watch the storm show. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Oh-oh, I think those pirates are done for. Imagine being out on deck and seeing that! I wonder what they were being punished for to be out there. I can't imagine anyone is that stupid.

They were probably the first pirates to be eaten as well.
You create the setting well with the lightning and huge dark waves. It would be a spectacular sight, just before the Kracken appears. Great job. Best of luck in the contest.
