Dare To Wake The Leviathan?

A friend suggests that it’s way past time for a wake up call. He’s right of course, but…

Who is willing to wake the leviathan?

It lurks deep below the conscious level, down in the murky places where no one can be sure of its size. It’s tail slowly undulates, creating waves, hoping to stir up the waters, lure in the unsuspecting creatures upon which it needs to feed.

Eyes closed, slow moving, one might mistakenly believe it is a benign creature, but beware the behemoth when the tiniest barb pricks its tough skin. Opening its huge mouth, it can devour an entire family in one fell swoop. Raking the meat from their bones and spitting out what’s left only to snatch it back up in gnashing teeth and splinter the remains.

Better, perhaps, for everyone else to remain in the shark cages praying that the bars are strong enough to provide a semblance of safety
