the well written - ray bradbury

I went to bed and woke in the middle of the night thinking I heard
someone cry, thinking I myself was weeping, and I felt my face
and it was dry.

Then I looked at the window and thought: Why, yes, it's just the
rain, the rain, always the rain, and turned over, sadder still, and
fumbled about for my dripping sleep and tried to slip it back on.

illustration - whales

Any illustrator with a bent toward fantasy seems to have made, at some time or another, a whale-themed illustration, which is wonderful because they're all so beautiful.
Blue, killer, humpback, nar, here are a bunch to inspire.

If you had to write a story with a whale as a character, what would it be?
