Killer Whales

read THIS.
begins page nine.

"The lab, crescent-shaped, a fingernail clipping in the sand, is underground, equipment separated by plates of glass from huge tanks which contain the animals, and I watch them swim in very blue water."

Susan Daitch (author)
Killer Whales (story)
Storytown (collection)

Picture-perfectly, the book's cover has been scanned improperly by Google, creating an hysterical field of multi-colored columns across nine-tenths of the page. Digital Newman/Natural Timelines.

The story -- reaching across communication systems, grabbing water -- looks just the same.


Sometimes you try and try. But you can't because it's already perfect.
