Wuss, the Giant Sea Monster

By G. G. Royal

The story of Wuss, the Giant Sea Monster is unlike any other. It is a tragic love story that highlights the less talked-about problem of binge drinking and the destruction it can cause in a relationship, plus it has a true sea . . . monster!

Brad Reno is in love. The woman he is in love with, Candy Cotton, is a binge drinker. This creates many problems for Brad. She does not see it as a problem and is unwilling to discuss it. Brad soon realizes this is the woman your mother should have warned you about.

During an overnight trip on their new boat, as he is planning in his mind how to confront Candy face-to-face to deal with this issue, they are attacked by a sea monster unlike anything that has ever been seen in the Gulf of Mexico. Wuss is the largest of God's most frightening creations. No one would ever try to take this monster alone . . . unless one has no choice.

Author’s Bio

Dedication

I am dedicating this story to my children. They are my greatest treasure.

Psalm 104: 24 O Lord, how manifold are your works!

In wisdom have you made them all;

the earth is full of your creatures.

Here is the sea, great and wide,

which teems with creatures innumerable,

living things both small and great.

There go the ships,

and Leviathan, which you formed to play in it.

Leviathan: It may describe a rare abomination of a species or one of many growing out in the deepest waters of the largest oceans of the world

In the great depths of the waters of Antarctica lives the Colossal Squid, Mesonychoteuthis Hamiltoni, the largest and most aggressive carnivorous squid in the world. Capable of reaching lengths exceeding sixty feet, this great creature has only one mortal enemy, the largest mammal on Earth, the sperm whale. That is where two of the largest creatures on Earth cross paths and battle for their lives against each other. Undeniable evidence such as the beak of the giant has been found in the stomachs of sperm whale carcasses. There is also evidence on whale carcasses that these beasts can give as good as they get, slicing and ripping apart areas caught by these razor-sharp hooks within the suction cups that spread out down the monster’s long snake-like arms.

Some have called the Colossal Squid the little brother of the Norse legend, the Kraken, but the Kraken was thought only to be a mythical beast. Now, the legend is thought to be more likely based on an actual sighting of a Giant Squid. The possibility of such a terrifying monster as this even existing for real instilled fear enough to keep many from ever venturing too far from shore.

Stories have been told of monster sightings far out at sea by eye witnesses. They are repeated by others and exaggerated and circulated around port cities and other places these sailors stop and tell their tales. The stories they tell seem incredible but somehow believable. Stories of sea monsters of gigantic proportions seem impossible to believe until described in such detail by these eye witnesses. Stories of destruction of boats and cargo losses go back to the very earliest days of ocean exploration. As the Viking legend attests, one of a monster so large, it was capable of wrapping its enormous tentacles completely around a passing ship and pulling it to the murky bottom of the deepest parts of the ocean. Eye witnesses swore it was true. Yet, no carcass that large has ever been found. That would be definitive proof of the existence of a true Kraken. We already know that they live in the deepest part of the world’s oceans; perhaps they die there as well. So, the legend lives on.

The home of this giant, the Colossal squid is in the deepest darkest waters of the oceans, hundreds and even thousands of feet down, as much as four miles deep into blackness. That is where these monsters live and should stay but they do come to the surface for one thing, to feed. It has been suggested that their population is increasing. There’s potentially thousands there of all sizes. Like the vicious man-eating predators we know, lions, sharks and alligators, these aggressive predators also stalk at night, swimming to the surface, searching for food, swimming swiftly with nothing to stop them. Like the pterodactyls of prehistoric times flying freely across the skies to search and pick their prey freely using their tremendous beaks and claws, the giant squid is a roaming terror of the seas.

The slightly smaller version, the Humboldt Squid,
