Bee's kinda obvious, ain't it.

I would like to come back as a whale, but I'm not sure which kind. Preferably one not significantly hunted by anyone.

Little Hawk, you might like this: I've been trying rather sporadically to write a story about a possibly murdered woman who has, through a strange circumstance reanimated as an entire meadow, with all it's grasses and insects and other little critters able to be activated as her senses, eyes, ears and so on. She very slowly assembles memories of her former self, but is continually distracted by her life as a meadow and the seasonal changes in her physical self, such as having all her 'senses' wander off or go to sleep as winter approaches.
