The 7th month ghost ship.

I have heard stories.

They are told at night.

To frighten kids. They speak of a ship that floats along the seashores at night. But only when the moon is crescent on the 7th month of the lunar year.

It comes with a lot of mist, and crying voices. When you hear it in the distance it sounds like it comes from everywhere but the story goes these voices can only be heard inside your mind. And if you do, they have come for you to join the crew.

I haven’t seen or had any experience with is myself, but today I hear them!

It is the 7th month and the moon is crescent. These voices I hear are calling my name. Crying out loud in screeching horror when they pronounce it. Warning me. Saying that my time has come and there is no escape my destiny.

So I see the mist coming closer, thick as slime, just enough to see through a bit. I resign in my fate. Shocked at the sight I cannot move. As if I am controlled and put to stop. So I sit on the shore in anticipation for what is to come

In the mist I see faint light, from a big wooden body that comes to show its silhouette. a ship…..the 7th month ghost ship.

Is this going to be the end of life. Or maybe it is just the beginning.

No one will tell.

No one can tell

No one……….
