The Invitation
You step onto the gangway, a shiver of anticipation running down your spine. Beneath you, grey fog obscures the surface of the water, small tendrils of it drifting up to tease at the spiky heels of the woman in front of you. As you watch it trail up long, bare legs, the woman gives an involuntary shudder, as though she’s been touched by something—or maybe someone—distasteful.
