The beginning of this I love very much, and then you had me at

Everyone alive today is a descendant of the great sperm whale
As I read that as we all come from whale sperm lol. I really need to stop being tired when reading. Although it does make for a funny read that way lol.

The beginning is so strong that I find (in my opinion as a reader) it tells us exactly what hell is. It is what we are living. The sadness of it all. That's what I am getting but, I could be wrong about that. I am not in your mindset.
Nevertheless, great writing you did here! :D
