Jrudon sees something glowing beneath the water. "What the.."

Suddenly, something emerges from the ocean. _Someone_ emerges. Her hair is blonde and her eyes are glowing. Glowing.

He screams and points his sword at the woman as if he will be able to get anywhere near her at the height she is floating at.

Around her, there are three tornadoes of water. Two are at her side and one is behind he...

Every day I shine my light into the dark sea, hoping that someone, anyone will respond. It’s been weeks since I’ve had any contact from the main land, and my ship is no closer to getting afloat. I’ll be out of food tomorrow, despite my rationing.

Returning to the base, I scour the shelves for something that I can use as a beacon. I have a few matches left for cooking, but if I try and spark a fir...

Through the triple-paned viewport of my quarters, I watched the wind scour the ice plains outside. A small display integrated into the window frame glowed with the external reading: -229°C. It made no sound, but the sight of that number was enough to raise a phantom chill on my skin, a memory of the brutal cold waiting just centimeters away.

_13:17 Pluto time,_ I reminded myself. _I have to be th...

I was on my boat late in the evening. Where I live it is very cold. I was gathering my dinner, when I saw a iceburge with a single white light. I thought it was strange, because no one lives way out here. Especially since it’s so cold out. Then I heard a female voice calling to me. I steered my boat closer and the voice got stronger. I got to the ice burge and an saw a beautiful woman. She had blo...

They sat on the boat, eyes fixed on the light ahead, the boat swaying in time with the lapping waves. The mist clouded everywhere apart from the lighthouse that served as a small beacon of hope, a waterfall of light spotlighting the ship.

Valen and Ebony sat beside each other, Valen’s eyes wide with excitement and Ebony’s narrowed with suspicion.

“Another lighthouse. How very convenient.” She mutt...

It’s all a blur. i rub my eyes but it doesn’t clear, i can’t get out of this now. The frosty screens is frozen over. The smell of sharp coldness spirals up my nostrails and creates a burning sensation. I chattering all around me like jingling of bells but the noises are getting closer and further and closer and further. I feel my lifeless body ripping left right left right. It’s messing with my m...

Water smacked my face as I tried to look for something to grab on. There was a beautiful night sky, the stars sprinkled the ocean. I saw a white piece of the plane that had once been. I swam towards, thrusting my up boat upon it. I rested my head down and took a minute to catch my breath. I then lifted my head and looked around me, there was no body else. No survivors but me. I was a plane to visi...

I always hear it. In the water, the ice. They think I’m insane, hallucinating even. But i know what i hear is not a lie, not a figment of my imagination. It’s been like this for a month now. Supplies dwindling, people going insane. Mostly me, but some have gotten bad. Ever since the plane crashed us in the middle of the arctic sea, we’ve had to survive on the few pieces of food we’ve scavenged. No...

No one knew who sent the transmission.

It pulsed once every 17 hours—just a single frequency tone, low and steady, like a heartbeat trying not to be noticed. The signal didn’t match any known pattern. It didn’t request help. It didn’t offer coordinates.

And yet Nigist followed it.

They warned her about the fog. Said it wasn’t natural. That it seeped into your mind the longer you stayed, that the b...

When the ocean dried up we didnt cry

For our tears would never fill

The dry abyss that stretched ahead

Our boat would never float again

Puddles may pile

One on top of another on top of another

However the old wooden beast

Was gone for good

Red and yellow striped socks are soggy

Our crew is scrutinized by the sky

A flashlight cuts through a foggy haze

Yet not quite sharp enough to see an edge

Is...
