Yours was amazing. I wonder if he is judging down based on use of metaphor? I love metaphor! Anyway, Congrats.

Love this and the feeling behind it. Poor creatures of the sea. (have you seen the new tv seres Sirens?) I think it's on WGN. It's about mermaids and how they are being killed off by our greed in taking their food supply. REally exciting show!
