Eerie, Indiana drabble: Foghorn

[froodle]

The foghorn had been hooting since the early hours, and by the time the alarm clock rang Marshall was ready to personally re-murder every crew member of every ghost ship that had ever ploughed the waves of Eerie’s sporadically-appearing ocean.

“Why’d they need warning about a bunch of dumb rocks for anyway?” he mumbled into a mug of black coffee almost the size of his head. “They’re dead. Their ships pass right through physical objects.”

“Yes,” said Simon, pushing the sugar bowl across the table. “But the foghorn is to warn them about ghost-rocks.”

“I hate this town,” said Marshall.
