Ilúzia pokoja otvoreného mora pominula v okamihu, keď nenásytne otvorilo svoju tlamu a s hlasným mľasknutím prehltlo nevládne ľudské telo. Svetlo z lode odrážajúce sa na tmavej hladine sa rozochvelo, meniac sa v malé nepokojné vlnky, svedčiace o ohavnosti daného činu.

But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo's desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly, terribly wrong.
