Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
Anyway let's get right to it,
Oh..kayy here. Well this is certainly something. I suppose if nothing else this does seems to match that title quite literally here, and that was something I was not expecting to happen in the slightest. I think you've gone and made things very interesting with that one little detail here because it does seem like that is the intended effect that you were going for here.
Well at any rate, if there was any line to really use in a story of this type, this is one that seems to be oddly fitting. It creates an interesting effect at any rate, especially if you think about it in a slightly more poetic connotation given this line does actually have a little bit of a poetic quality to it. There seems to be something about it that almost hints at these sailors being part of some sort of ghost ship that is now sort of floating forever through the seas and hence that's why this question just keeps on getting repeated. It definitely makes for an intriguing thought here at any rate, even if maybe I'm overthinking that analysis a little.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.

On a random tangent,
did you know where the phrase "It was a dark and stormy night" comes from originally?
Ironically, it was penned by the great Bulwer-Lytton (try wikipedia...)
and the full text went thus:
"It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents, except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness."
A perfect example of how not to write.
I'll shut up now.
I have heard a few things like this, especially from my little cousin in the car when we are going on a family outing!
I'll...erm...pass on that? Sounds like an interminable journey to me!
LMAO man that is classic heh glad i'm not on same journey as you i'd go go insane hearing that over and over and over and over ect...
Very annoying and yet I've told a similar story to keep myself from dying of boredom.
*Winces*
Cliches, grammar, plot, it's all too much.
*SLAMS HEAD INTO KEYBOARD*
umm i love it what more can anybody say? never ever stop making great storys like this or everyone will get very bord lol
lol, that's very...unique? I'm glad I'm not on the same car ride as you.
It's not really a story, but it's perfect for a scary sleepover!
