Drabble: 

He closes his eyes and listens.

It is like coming home; falling back into the void, into the cool embrace of the voices from deep within. That's all the Kraken is, really. Not some supernatural force that takes him over; it is returning to himself. Hardly any effort at all. It is being Ed that takes effort.

He sits down in the alcove that used to be a bed, and peers into the darkness. The sea is calm. People say that's what happens before a storm, but calm is just calm.

There is no point in expecting anything at all.

Oh shit. It hurts so much!
It is being Ed that takes effort - I love this sentence (as someone, something dragged home by cat)

Yeah, that's Ed, basically. Poor boy.

This is an excellent character study. That part about needing effort to be Ed is perfect. And yep, the last sentence hurts.
