The structure is good as it draws you along seamlessly ; you feel the pain of grief for these beautiful creatures.
I experienced the same feeling of a whale eyeballing you , in my case it was in Barclay Sound , BC, kayaking when a Humpback stuck her head up near me and just looked at me for quite a time. I had that gripping feeling she wanted to communicate , maybe say something like “ please save my world, what’s happening to it ?”
