The Drowned Giant

For the week of the multiverse narrative, I read the short story "The Drowned Giant" by J.G.Ballard. I am not sure what a multiverse narrative is, but the short story was different than others I have read. The title is basically what this short story is about. There are no surprises at all. Literally a giant that drowned washed up on shore where everyone went to investigate it. There are great details about the body of the giant and his size in comparison to the fishing boats that went to investigate the body. Even the description of the people walking and playing on the giants appendages gives a great comparison of size.
