Chapter 2 of 10

Constable Pratt reads the logbook at the watch room desk because moving it feels like moving a body. Twenty-six years of entries in one copperplate hand, weather, shipping, lamp-oil arithmetic, steady enough to set the calendar by. The last entry carries the storm in short strokes: glass falling, wind backing northeast, seas breaking white over the shoal by nine. Then the sentence that stops. At half past eleven observed, and nothing. No blot, no skid of a startled pen. The ink dried politely at observed, the pen capped, laid square against the ruler. Pratt has filed enough reports to know you do not cap a pen mid-sentence out of surprise. You cap a pen having written exactly what you meant to. The interruption is composed. It is the tidiest unfinished sentence he has ever been afraid of.
