352. The Kraken


There was widespread panic in Johnshaven this morning when the Kraken was spotted a short distance offshore.  Fishermen, who were collecting creels in calm seas, experienced a sudden enormous swell in the water and rushed back to the safety of the harbour.

When the boats were out of its reach the Kraken let out an almighty roar which shook the old buildings so much that many people thought a minor earthquake had hit the village.  There are a few slates off in Harbour Place but thankfully no-one was injured.

The Community Council have called everyone to the Village Hall for an emergency meeting.  All residents will have their hands inspected and anyone showing signs of the Black Spot will be immediately banished to Gourdon.
