Chapter 10: The White Whale
The stories of Moby Dick grew more frightening with each telling. Sailors claimed that this white whale was not like other whales, but something supernatural, a creature of evil and destruction.
Some said they had seen Moby Dick in different parts of the world, as if it could travel anywhere instantly. Others spoke of how it would sink ships without warning, appearing suddenly and disappearing just as quickly.
Captain Ahab listened to these stories with hunger in his eyes. Each tale only strengthened his determination to find and kill the whale. I began to wonder if this hunt was about revenge or something darker and more dangerous.
