I have never seen someone repeatedly return to the docks; most people come every day for a few days then when that person doesn't show, they never return but this woman with her lengthy, unadulterated brown hair and frightening green eyes appears, never ever missing a day. I nearly want to get over the ship, walk over there and question her on why she returns every day. I was puzzled when she didn't come one day, I waited for her to be there but she never did, 2 days passed and she still didn't come, 3 days since the woman has returned, maybe she received a telegram saying her husband has D.I.A, Died In Action or even maybe is M.I.A, Missing In Action. 4 days goes by and the woman never showed, the ship pulls in at exactly 10:00am every day and usually she is there but on the 5th day, she isn't there, it was the same 6th day.
