At sea it is easy to become lost in time. I am first mate on a ship whose crew is mostly comprised of the stranded: explorers, professors, minor gods from across centuries.
By the time we discover the stowaway, he has already made friends with the

ship. I threaten to throw him overboard, and it almost sinks itself in displeasure.

Our world has the misfortune of hosting two powerful death gods. They do

not get along. And they like to compete.

Something strange is caught in our net, a bulbous fluttering fish with no

face. “Mermaid hearts live outside their bodies,” says the captain. “Bizarre to

catch one this close to shore.”

My feathers come in black and stubbly, and everyone wonders if I might have human blood. Our teacher tries to stop these rumors, reassuring us all in a firm voice: “There are no humans left.”
