Love the intrigue built in the question “why the slaughter?” I was like yeahh what’s up with all this slaughter. And the end sealed it. Great story

Love the ending, i’m a sucker for myth so I really appreciate the mythic quality of this piece. Sort of explanation why with myth, I gotta look at that fish! nice work!
