A recurring conversation...
--
Transcript:
Panel 1 [Lizzie in the foreground, jokingly holding the scrimshaw tooth up to her jaw as if it was her own. Ezra and his mother are still sitting at the table, and Ezra is smiling as Lizzie goes]
Panel 2 [Ezra looks over at his mother, who has her head bowed and is rubbing the back of her neck.]
EZRA:
She seems good.
Panel 3 [Ma looks straight ahead of her with a weary expression as Ezra looks over at her, frowning.]
MA:
She missed you. We both did.
EZRA:
I know...
Panel 4 [Closer shot of his mother looking down with a sad and tired wince, pressing her fingers to her temple]
MA:
Told her stories ‘bout you the whole time so she’d still remember you when you came home. Four years…it’s so long, Ezra.
Panel 5 [Shot over Ma’s shoulder to Ezra who’s looking at his hands]
EZRA:
I know.
Panel 6 [same shot, but Ezra’s looking up at his mother]
EZRA:
But I’m doin’ this for the both of you. You know that.

Going to Weather

Going to Weather is a 3 Act nautical ghost story set on a New England whaleship. Updates in batches monthly.
1843. New Bedford is the city lighting the world, with its wealth drawn bleeding from the ocean depths. Whale oil lamplight glazes domestic life and spermaceti candles burn long at the tables of the rich. Their warm glow belies the brutal work that set them there.
From the chaotic harbor bristling with ship masts, a cobbled-together crew boards the whaleship Valor bound for the Pacific. Among them is Lawrence Manner, a landsman hoping to shed his onshore life, and Ezra Carter, a second mate striving for a captaincy in a nation that has few other options for him.
The ship’s master—Barzillai Waite—has built a reputation of great success, returning time and time again with thousands of barrels of oil in the Valor’s hold. But the Captain’s lucky image is dogged by a tale that he was once the sole survivor of a wreck at sea. The Valor, now on her fourth voyage, somehow feels older than she should. And out on the isolated stretch of ocean, as the tryworks smoke and bubble, an unseen and unwelcome passenger begins to make itself felt.
