Black Ivory

Six feet of water already filled the Aurora when the carpenter measured the hold a second time. Six feet two, and rising; the leak cannot be found before this brig goes under. You step into this one-chapter preview with Disco Lillihammer at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The dark path remained empty while moonset and the promised sailing drew nearer. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
