May 19th-22nd

A storm’s a comin’! And it’s a doozy. Nearing midnight on the 19th, green clouds begin to melt across the skies, lit by the sinking moon which is quickly covered, casting everything an uneasy green light. Those awake may feel a sense of dread if they are inclined to such things — as if something big was about to happen.

Half an hour later, those still asleep may be jolted out of bed by the sound of screaming, but don’t worry, it’s only the wind. A huge wind threatens to tip unprepared ships into the drink and those observant might see things that appear to be humanesque shapes, but there is no time to speculate because after the wind comes the rain, hard and fast and sharp, feeling like glass needles against the skin. The sea will rise to one-hundred foot swells in some places so prepare to get wet if you’re on deck and try not to get knocked in. Davy Jones won’t thank you.

The storm will blow through with patches of calm here and there until on the afternoon on the 22nd, the rain patters to an end and everything is flat as a millpond. There is still an undercurrent of electricity in the air and those sensitive to such things may feel that this is the calm before the storm. But that’s ridiculous, right? Around two in the afternoon the tension will have dropped away, the sun will shine, and everything is back to normal...except for weird splotches of blood that can be found here or there on the hull, or deck, or mast. Where in the world did they come from?
