As you fish for squid late at night, hauling a large squid out of the water, you raise your head… and find numerous floating, ghostly eyes staring back at you. The wind gets stronger, your boat rocking on the water, and just when you pack away your rod…
Something collides with your boat, the blow breaking the hull with a devastating CRACK. Terrified, you race back to town, almost crashing into the dock in your haste to reach safety.
Everyone in town advised against traveling at night, but you thought they were being overdramatic. Now, you know they were correct.
