All day on the second day it had been raining. The waves were a bit more vicious, like a dog that had been riled up a bit too much and now its eager bite was starting to leave dents in the skin. The swell tossed the boat without much regard for its passengers. Hershel and Luke stayed in their cabin most of the day, passing the time with books and puzzles, save for when they had to duck out to get food. It was much gentler with the hull than it was with the passengers. Hershel could hear the animals beneath them complaining about their seasickness. He only hoped, for their sake and for his and Luke’s, that they’d be sedated again soon.
Hershel Layton is left adrift at sea after the sinking of the SS Constance.
Hi guys! Something I’m doing in the meantime while planning Phantom Railway. Grin!
A Lullaby for an Anchor is a stranded-at-sea story that I plan to maybe delve into Hershel’s mind and human nature itself. It is based off of Life of Pi, one of my favorite novels. Luke also has a big presence in the story! Or at least he is a major plot point. That’s his boy. I couldn’t leave him out ever.
I hope you enjoy!
