Chapter One
Greedily taking advantage of a few quiet moments First Officer William Murdoch rested in his bed as he once again began to read his mystery novel...or rather tried to. It seemed each time he had a moment to read his book someone or something came along to interrupt it.
But there would be no interruptions this time.
Flipping to the last page where he had left off in his book he settled in to find out who the mystery killer was.
...Or rather tried to.
Something quick and black caught his attention.
Moving his blue eyes upwards Will found himself staring at a large black spider. It's eight glowing red eyes read touch me and you will die, meat puppet!
Gathering up his courage Will knew just what he had to do to destroy the wretched thing.
He flung his book at the spider.
Missed!
Great, now I've made it mad! Will thought before doing the next best thing. He ran out of his cabin...screaming.
Quartermaster Robert Hichens could've sworn he heard a high-pitched voice being carried by the wind.
Who stepped on a cat? Hichens wondered to himself.
"Hiiiiiiiiiiiichens!" Will shrieked until he collided with the other man.
The pair fell to the ground in a heap of tangled arms and legs. Will's face was planted firmly in Hichens' stomach.
"Do you plan on making this worth my while Murdoch?" Hichens asked.
"No," came the muffled reply.
"Then get off of me!"
