new game "the sea god"


i've made a new bitsy game, "the sea god". it's a poem (kinda) about death: death as a gift, death as a blessing.

around the time i was reading moby dick, i saw a striking image online of sperm whales sleeping: upright, their mammoth bodies suspended impossibly in space. i thought about what a miracle it was for something to contain all that — cells, matter, lifestuff. and then, I thought about what happened when they died. when their borrowed bodies (all our bodies are borrowed, after all) were returned to the ocean. 

you can play it for free here
