"Sedna"

Whalers used to spend any free time at sea making scrimshaw, or engraving designs onto whale teeth or whalebone. I read a story that mentioned a scrimshaw tooth and it haunted me until I wrote "Sedna," published today by Singapore-based Eunoia Review. In Inuit legend, Sedna is goddess of the sea; I grew up surrounded by Inuit art, so she came immediately to mind.
