Walking on Water

Having been relieved of my duties, I was sent below, never to stand another watch while I remained in First Division. Even I had to laugh as variations of the story, about how I’d hit the old man in the head with orange peelings, filtered back down to me through the crew. Lest I get [...]

Some Soulless Beast

What I saw, in many of the crew, were men with broken spirits, hollow men who had sold their souls to the Great Gray Mother for a mere pittance. Having been granted the intoxicating drink they sought to ease their pain, and the favors of her prostitutes to satisfy their compulsion for soul as the [...]

Broken Spirits

What I saw, in many of my shipmates, were men with broken spirits, hollow men who had sold their souls to the Great Gray Mother for a mere pittance. Having been granted the intoxicating drink they sought to ease their pain, and the favors of her prostitutes to satisfy their compulsion for soul as the [...]

Metaphysical Mumbo Jumbo?

As a child, I had never been taught by my fathers, or by the religion of my fathers, how to communicate with the metaphysical side of my nature. O, I had learned how to ask God for things, as if the Almighty were some genie who could grant my every wish. But I was never [...]
