A decrepit Tall Ship, missing for a couple of years, limps into port. The story told by the lone survivor is one of tragedy and despair. But, is it to be believed?

A.E. Jackson lives in Delaware and writes uncanny speculative fiction. He is married with two children. He believes there are malevolent forces, just below the surface, tugging us all down. He knows another force, more benevolent than we deserve, works to keep us buoyant. Jackson reads Ray Bradbury, Shirley Jackson, Roald Dahl, Stephen King, Paulo Coelho, Richard Matheson, H.P. Lovecraft, and Richard Bach.
