Starlight
When I picked up that ring on the beach that day I had no idea just how much my life would change. It sat on my dressing table for a week and after no one responded to the lost and found ad I forgot about it. I was heading out to the vigil for the shopping mall victims, and I saw the ring sitting there. What the heck, I guess it’s mine now? I slipped it on my finger. It was way too big, but before I could remove it … the ring resized all on its own, fitting perfectly to my finger.

The Last Voyage of the Silent Wind
The Silent Wind was a ship like no other, sleek and silent as her namesake, cutting through the waters of the North Atlantic like a ghost. She was an old merchant vessel, built of oak and iron, her hull weathered from countless voyages, but still strong. For over a century, she had braved the seas, her decks creaking with the stories of sailors long gone. But now, in the autumn of 1923, she carried a very different cargo—one that would seal the fate of her crew.
