Your trust in the uneventfulness of my trip is misplaced, Ella. There was a most strange event." Placid tells the tale of the storm, the man falling overboard, the sudden cessation of sound except for the cryptic poetry, how the man refused to recover and eventually died. "The bit of verse was 'The Pale King wakes. The red moon rises. The cunning man-thing calls. The beast within answers. The storm must rage. The world will weep.' I cannot help but feel the fifth line refers to us, but who knows for sure? Combine this strange seaborne event with this city's problems stemming from the sea, and we end up with a total too portentuous to be dismissed as coincidence."</blockquote>
