Between the pills and the slight swaying of the ship, nausea crept upon Kallah. She stood, the head ache beginning and her stomach churning, and stumbled to the nearest door. Looking into the closet, she turned, trying another door, finally successful.

Kallah perched upon the edge of her bed and stared at the orange bottle in her hands. She threw everything away, left her home for this ship to change, right? To return to who she was before the drugs, the lies, the abuse. The little bottle rattled to the bottom of a drawer. Dressed in loose blue jeans and a baggy hoodie, Kallah wandered the cabins, desperate to see another human, yet painfully afraid to leave the confinement of her solidarity.

She wrapped her arms around herself, embracing herself, trying to hold herself together. Daylight lit a nearby stairwell and she slowly ascended to the deck. The ship had everything an average cruise liner had, pools, bars, restaurants, dance floors, but no people. She was alone. Never releasing her embrace, Kallah meandered the deck, taking little interest in the luxuries offered.

The ocean stretched out for miles around, an abyss. Green blue water, teaming with life, churning in constant motion. But here it was calm. No disruption but the wake left behind by the ship. Kallah stood, staring out into the water, unable to remove her gaze from the ever-present churning.

Author guidance for This exercise

Ok

The Ship To Nowhere is quite literally, a ship to nowhere. It travels around, it can stop anywhere and pick people up or drop people off but it has no specific destination.

You can add in any character you like, characters you already have in another story, characters you just made up. Whatever you want!

Everyone is welcome to join in.

The only rule is that every character has to be going on a journey for a reason.
You can decide how long that will take and if the story lets you, then you can change their minds as to where they end up as much as you like...as long as you have good reasons!!

So far in the story we have
Anouka

She's a Terakian Princess, and is on her way to the Bermuda triangle.

Bliss

A runaway. Bliss isn't sure where she's going yet but she knows she had to leave.
