The Feather.

As you closed the ships log, you shuddered.

Could something like that really happen?

Does no one else know about this?

As you went to put the book back on the shelf you heard someone approach from behind you.

“You shouldn’t read such scary stories. I’m sure it’s just nonsense.” the stranger said. You turned around and the stranger gave you a kind smile. You smiled back until you saw the feather behind their ear glinting in the light.
