“I don’t see my life flash before my eyes. In fact, I don’t see anything because my eyes are clenched shut. I can’t hear anything because my adrenaline-fueled blood is rushing past my ears like a freight train. And let’s face it, smelling, tasting, and feeling are low-priority senses when you’re about to be smeared against the deck of a ship by a humpback whale. An instinct for survival fuels my last-second attempt at escape. With my back to the descending whale, I run.

Under the weight of the whale, the Raven has dropped several feet and canted sharply to the side, leaving me airborne and sprawling.
