Perhaps too much- because who could hope to force the sea to return the dead? David- That's true, and something SY pointed out to me recently. Take it one step wider, and most of my stories are about lonely men (and women- Alegria), often monstrous, seeking some way to be happy. Often that is through getting back something they once had, and sometimes through making a change large enough in their life so they can move forwards. I suppose that's the theme that most intrigues me, as I generally don't set out with it in mind. SY- He’s a strange character no doubt, and certainly strong-willed.

But he didn’t give up. Impressive! God and the whale? :)
