Dear Listeners,
Written in a day three months ago, this tale has nevertheless taken me a long time to get around to recording. I poured a lot into it, and maybe I'm more attached to it than I should be, and perhaps that's why I've sat on it so long. Nevertheless, I am glad to bring it to you this April!
This tale begins with a stowaway discovered on a sailing vessel somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic, and the consternation her arrival causes among the crew, the passengers ... well, it all plays out strangely, and I hope it stirs you. If you have ever had the feeling that something enormous was hiding in plain sight, you may find something that speaks to that, or any number of other threads that seem to have been dominating my imagination lately.
I was, in fact, given the first bare 500 words with no context or explanation by a fellow writer, other than a challenge to do something with it. I found very quickly that here was a fitting vessel for quite a lot of the blocked up stuff swirling in my head, and my pen scribbled until it was done. I will ever be grateful to Bobbie Allen for this unlocking. Please take a look at her work, and maybe you'll get inspired too!
I won't say too much more, except to wish Sweet dreams to you and all who are dear to you,
Seymour
