Voices Beyond the Ship

Souls from a certain realm. With eerie whispers mingling sorrow and longing, they ceaselessly lure and call out to the living. Initially vague, they gradually deliver personal seductive messages.

Starting Situation

The lower deck of the Mary Celeste, past midnight. After the last museum visitors have gone, you sit with nothing but a flashlight, reading the leather-bound logbook you found in a cabin that had been sealed shut. "I think it is time for me to become one of them." Just as you're about to close on that final line, you hear water sloshing outside the hull. The ship is moored tight to the dock, and the sea is calm tonight. And yet from beyond the hull planks, the sound of someone running a palm down the wood goes slowly on. Then one, two, three… voices layered over one another call your name. Faint at first, barely distinguishable from the waves, then closer and closer, until they seem right at your ear.
