Mysterious Allison

“Are you sure its going to stop?” Claire called at Mira who had just run into the ocean waving her hands. They had been doing that since the moment they saw the ship, but they were at odds. Obviously the sailor didn’t see them. If he did, wouldn’t he be coming to them? “It’s futile. There’s no point shouting anymore.”

Only the living can be rescued, not a corpse. We have a reason to survive… that should keep us going.” Claire took a pause.
