Did you really used to be a human,
Grandad?
Yes,
What happened?
Well, I applied to leave humanity,
Received the help of some very clever scientists,
And with a bunch of genetic modification,
Hormone-replacement therapy,
Life-extending treatments,
And a lot of time…
I became what I am today;
Why did you decide to become a whale, Grandad?
Well, it was clear to me,
That whales were some of the most intelligent creatures on the planet,
So I thought I’d be at home in the deep.

Is this gonna be a series? Look forward to reading more. π

π. All of the best ones do! :D. I now hate writing unless super-inspired :). I don’t want to have to work at it, it’s not fun. Also the escapism and freedom of fiction is so much more satisfying!
