The short story was an interesting and gripping look at a Maelstrom and I was struck by how blatant our guide explains the malestrom and what he went through with it. He talks so blatantly about the death of his brothers during this accident which only adds to the indescribable horror that you read in between the lines as he's talking about his incident and as we hear the narrator's research. It was a really interesting read!
