The REAL -ness obviously stops at the very end of the ficlet, and the date is incorrect, but it is very real. Search “Bloop” on google. It was the nickname given to the sound since they coulnt call it, “Whale Mating Call 43098” or somthing.

I did. and now I’m terrified to go on my sisters senior cruise.You never really know what’s down there, or up here.
Isn’t that a comforting thought?

I like the story, but its made all the creepier because its real…could the animal perhaps be Trunko? Or maybe a Lusca? (Sorry, once you get on Wikipedia, there are so many places to go!)

wow, that’s amazing! maybe King Trident, or the Atlantean King was calling his armies, or something… :) Yeah I leapt to fantasy… so?

It wasn’t an animal.

Creepy-cool. This gave me chills.

Very interesting. I understand about comments. It’s disheartening to see your ficlet read by 40, 50, 60 readers but only a few have left comments.
