Leviathan (/lᵻˈvaɪ.əθən/; Hebrew: לִוְיָתָן, Modern Livyatan, Tiberian Liwyāṯān ; “twisted, coiled”) is a sea monster referenced in the Tanakh, or the Old Testament. This word has become synonymous with any large sea monster or creature.

  2. I would like, if I may, to extend the definition given here, in defense of my usage of the prompt. According to Dictionary.com,( http://bit.ly/1WY4u6d )Leviathan has three variances;

    noun
    1.
    (often initial capital letter) Bible. a sea monster.
    2.
    any huge marine animal, as the whale.
    3.
    anything of immense size and power, as a huge, oceangoing ship.
    4.
    (initial capital letter, italics) a philosophical work (1651) by Thomas Hobbes dealing with the political organization of society.

    So, I chose #3 and created a huge tech-demon. That’s how I see it, anyway.
    Thank You for your time.
    😀 — John

      1. I just hope the story isn’t as flat as I feel it might be. I’m still in a bit of a funk, and am trying to force myself out of it. I don’t mind being funky, but I dislike being IN a funk, ya’ know what I mean?

    1. I’m sorry your sick! We’ve had that bit of YUCK come spinning through our house, too. I’m still coughing, but on the mend. I hope you recover quickly! Stoked you’ve got a story to share this week, though! Glad the doc has prescribed exactly what you need. 🙂 NOW, get some rest!!

        1. Haha if you think it will then I’m on board, but I’m not sure a doc would okay it. I’m be praying for you to get over this quick, Andrew. I hate that you’re sick on top of everything else.
