[SP-F29] Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell | Nature's Treasure


Recommended Posts

The tide surged high. Foam bubbled at his feet where the last wave had struck. His boots, damp and heavy, carried him across the seawalk until he stopped before a rickety wooden dock. It creaked and shifted under the force of the wind, and beside it, a small sailboat bobbed.

A jagged bolt of lightning tore through the sky, leaving a blood-red afterglow smeared across the clouds long after the flash faded.

"You said you wanted a boat," Stephen said, his fingers toying with a loose button on his jacket.

From the left, Willow trudged into view. She hid beneath a long raincoat that billowed awkwardly around her. She waddled uncomfortably through the storm, until she was within talking distance. "This isn’t what I had in mind," she muttered, her voice barely carrying over the roar of the sea.

“I figured.”

The boat was old and weathered from its strenuous journeys over the Black. The hull was overdue for a paint job and the mast looked like it would crack at the next large gust of wind. It did not inspire confidence. One foot at a time, Stephen stepped inside. He reached out to Willow, and she used him to keep balance on her way in. He hoisted the sail, adjusting it in the direction he wanted, and let the wind do the rest.

They sat close, redirecting the ship every so often when the wind took them off course. They kept warm beneath their heavy duty clothing, built for the weather of Floor 29. Willow tipped her hood to speak audibly.

“Where are we going?”

“What?” Stephen shouted over the waves.

“I said, where are we going?”

“Oh. Scouting!”

“Can you be more specific?”

“The ocean’s a very broad place!”

Willow blinked and pulled her hood back over her wet hair.

From the shore, the Black looked treacherous. It was an entirely different beast in practice. Stephen played with the sails, his lack of sailing experience showing. Willow was too busy watching the land shrink behind them to notice. In the distance, she thought she saw something snake-like bulge out of the water. She squinted, staring, hoping her mind was playing tricks on her. For a while, all she saw was rocky waves. Then, a tentacle flicked into view, slapping against the sea.

She nearly jumped out of her seat. “Holy shit, did you see that!?”

“See what?” Stephen asked, laser-focused on piloting the boat.

“Fucking sea monster thing!”

“Sorry, what?”

“Sea monster thing!” Willow repeated, louder this time.

Spooked, Stephen glanced around. “Where?”

She shook her head. “Never mind. Just drive.”

“Talk louder!”
