Whale

Background
Rosella was swalloed whole by a whale--the species of which was noticed in the panic of the moment--while she was swimming back to Tamir from Genesta's isle. She escaped by tickling the inside of its throat with a peacock feather she had found on the beach at Genesta's. Rosella recalled unimaginable stench and stomach fluids that burned the bare parts of her legs--much like a sunburn, but without the fresh air and cool breeze. She was able to see because of a fluorescence that clung to much of the debris that was dissolving in the stomach acid, perhaps as a by-product of digestion.
