Looking For She Who Cannot be Found
They were provided clothing of a suitable size, even if it was a little outdated. And yet, Maggie had to smile as she put her's on. "You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say these were from the sixties." "Yeah, I'd have to agree with you. But the...
Rescue and Recovery
There was a life boat bobbing in the waves. On board were two people, huddled together for warmth and support. The fog had rolled in and a light rain was coming down. "Well Maggie, this is another fine mess I got us into." "Spare me the funny stuff....
Meeting Davy Jones

The Tale of St George's Horse

Starting a Game of Hyde and Seek
The fog and mists shrouded the seas for leagues in all directions. The dull slap of waves hitting the rusted metal hull provided a auditory backdrop that was devoid of recognizable sound. The ship was far out to sea, lost in...
