  5. The Wretched Stoneby Chris Van Allsburg It is a rock, approximately two feet across. It is roughly textured, gray in color, but a portion of it is a flat and smooth as glass. From this surface comes a glowing light that is quite beautiful and pleasing to look at. The crew is fascinated by the rock. When not needed on deck, they are down below, gazing in silence at the peculiar light it gives off. I miss the music and storytelling that had become part of our ship’s life…I am sure their interest in the stone will fade away soon.

  6. The Wretched Stone Something is wrong with the crew. They rarely speak, and though they swing through the rigging more quickly than ever, they walk the decks in a clumsy, stoop-over fashion. Last night I heard shrieks coming from the forward hold. I believe they have contracted some kind of fever that came on board with the stone.
