A tourism company called Ghost Boat Rides tells stories about the dead or missing people of the ocean.
"His name is Connor."
Max was a veteran in this business. He had told this story many times throughout the last twelve months.
"He was very curious, he swam inside the cave not considering the consequences."
Max was currently on a midnight excursion with six customers.
"Three Sirens took him away and led him further into the cave. Legend has it that he is split between the life of the ocean and of Cape Sampson."
The lantern in the middle of the old rugged boat swung left to right, lighting the people's faces in the darkness.

Mystery At 4,000 Fathoms
I've never believed in fairytales, superstitions or fears of fantasy worlds. It's the year 1871, and yet people still believe in such idiotic stories. My job as a stoker on this ship is just so I can get some money to live on, but when the ship goes down and I'm rescued in a submarine, I'm forced to help an ambitious Jenny Playfair, a woman obsessed with finding the lost city of Atlantis. She's crazy, of course, or at least I believe she is, until she shows me evidence that such a city just might exist. As we dive farther into the deep in a desperate attempt to find something, and someone, I come to wonder: If Atlantis is real, what are we to expect? Is there more to this than we know? And if the person with me being completely true about her intentions on finding this city? It's an adventure I didn't sign up for, but quickly find myself in. But the more I find and learn about the ocean around me, the more I realize fairytales just might be true after all. Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies, Run! or any of the characters in it. This is my Stoker Five's version of Mystery at 4,000 Fathoms in the New Adventure section of the app.Complete
