This was just awful. This story was so bad it got me off my butt to register for this forum just to gripe about it. Holy cow, what was the point of this tale? Here, let me save you time if you haven't heard it. Here's an accurate summary:
A lady sees a space whale and it is just amazingly gigantic.
That's it. That's all that happens. This would have been better as a 100-character Twabble than a short story. It would have been just as bad but then it wouldn't have spent as much time irritating me. There is nothing to recommend this story. No real characterization, no tension, no payoff, nothing. I'm struggling to understand why anybody would pull this from the slush pile and take the time to produce it. It should have been chucked into a paper shredder. Blech. Please, please, PLEASE stop running awful stories.
