The Skyline of a Ship

by Anna Stroud

'It's a wrecked ship, anchored over there and left alone. I don't know what it's doing there, or how on earth it has outlived storm after storm for years. They say that, sometimes, people go there and never come back. I'd like to reach it, someday, just to see.'

I actually quite enjoyed this. It was a little odd, but I liked the apocalyptic premise and some of the author's expression was unique which was refreshing. I particularly liked throwing water in the face of a fire to put it out, the small puddle forgotten by the sea and paint as dry as blood scabs. This is a short story and a quick read. I grabbed it for free from the Kobo web site. Go on, give it a read.
