The Ghost Ship

by RabbitRuler2

All that we know of it is fragments told by sailors, and they were unreliable witnesses, out on the open sea in the middle of a storm. They said it appears to doomed ships, and sails just above the waves. The ship's name? The Flying Dutchman.

The ship sails on.

Forever.

Never docking,

Never pausing in it's endless

Journey across

The world's oceans.

Flying the plague flag.

Trapped in an endless

Winter,

The crew are frostbitten

Even when they sail in

Summer's heat.

The sailors need no food,

Nor fresh water.

If hailed by another ship,

The crew will try to

Send messages to land,

Or to people long

Dead.

It is described by the few

Who see it and

Survive as glowing a

Luminous green.

The ghost ship sails on, and will

Forever.
