The superhero in the story is perhaps not the soulless one. Rather, he encountered a planet full of people who'd forsaken their souls.

I did struggle with that title, although in the end, perhaps his soul was tainted by the negativity.

Could well be.

I loved Jonah very much! Such an awesome description how he survived! 🥰🖤 I liked that story already, though I was never raised religious, when I visited classes for my protestant confirmation. 😁 Old times! Actually it inspired me to write such a story myself! 🙂 Have to sit with that for a while!

I am not religious at all either, but I always thought Jonah and the whale made for a great horror idea.

Absolutely! How crazy to be gullped down by a whale! 🤯 Theres a book by Daniel Kraus (Pullitzer-Winner 26) it is called Whalefall about a diver who gets eaten by a whale! 😁👍🏻

I have that on my Kindle. I need to get to it at some point.

These are great! Particularly like From Below, it reminds me a little bit of The Kraken Wakes by John Wyndham 😊
