A book, a Flower, and a Light

A short Mugman x Cala Maria story.
Expected length, 10 chapters. All chapters are prewritten a week in advance and I post on Wednesdays usually and sometimes Sundays.

The foghorns blew loudly in the distance, vibrations trickled across the stagnate pools of water creasing onto the shore. Fish jumped up out of the water hoping to get a glimpse of the upside world. Flying fish flew uphead accompanied by the ominous flick of an electric eel every so often. The ocean was so beautiful, but so was land, the books, the flowers, the lights! Things you couldn't get underwater.

Cala Maria longed for a book of some kind from above that was filled with knowledge , and maybe even a light to guide her through the dark ocean waters that linger below the surface. Maybe even a flower, only the most beautiful will do she thought. Her elbows rested upon the planks of wood on an old ship wreak. Sometimes she'd come here to gaze at the carnival lights from far away, the shined so bright. Of course there were lights by the dock but they weren't as luminescent as the ones ever so far.

Closer to the ship wreak was if course the casino, its lights of course not as luminous; instead they right of cursed souls and flickering lights. Just because her contract was destroyed, doesn't mean they were out of business, hoping to collect more contracts to not only make up for what they lost, but to repair the reputation that had been damaged. Two young fellows knocked the devil and his lackey back into their place. Cala Maria doubted the Devil would ambush them again without a strong plan, if at all.

(Years after the events of Cuphead)
DOES NOT TAKE PLACE IN THE SAME TIMELINE AS THE CARNABERG STORY!
