The mayor of a modest harbor town struggles to deal with the appearance of a whale in the sky above the ocean.

Genre: Fantasy

 

Excerpt:
“There’s a whale, just…floating in the middle of the sky. That doesn’t impress you?”

“I never said I wasn’t impressed.”

“I mean that doesn’t move you to—I don’t know—ponder about the big stuff in life?”

The mayor crossed his arms. “Big stuff?”

She shook her head, then turned back to look at him. Her brows were slightly creased now, and her gaze fixed on him. “If the official explanation isn’t real, do you think there’s a logical explanation for this?”

“I think there’s an explanation,” Mayor Joyance said. “Whether or not it’s logical remains to be seen.”

 

What’s the Word (that inspired the story)?
Joyance: (Archaic) joyous feeling; gladness. (source: dictionary.com)
