The gentle sway of the ship was hypnotic, the endless expanse of the ocean stretching out before him. Captain Ronan stood on the bridge, the salt-laced wind whipping through his hair. He felt a sense of serene acceptance, a deep harmony with the world around him. He felt at peace.

He had charted this course for weeks. He had finally reached the final destination. The ship had been running smoothly. He glanced out at the horizon, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

Tomorrow, they would be reaching their destination. His life was in order.
