Screaming winds rake your face with claws of icy rain. Throwing your arms up over your head, your first thought is to find shelter. You race, slipping and sliding, back to the stairs that lead down to your room on the ship. You try the door handle only to find it locked. Beating the door with a clenched fist, you scream, “Open up!”

No one answers. You are alone and at the mercy of the elements.

Freezing rainwater pools at your feet, soaking you to the bone. Lightning flashes and thunder booms defeaningly above you. In that flash of light you see your savior- a covered lifeboat. If nothing else it will shield you from the brunt of the storm. Teeth chattering, hands numb, you scramble inside.

Deep booming laughter erupts from above you while a chorus of croaking sounds reply from the churning waters below. There’s a momentary feeling of falling before you crash against the hard floor of the life boat. You’ve been cut away!

Your journey ends here, adrift in a storm with the sounds of monsters all around you.
