The Gloria Scott

Rating: G
Warning: Minor character death
The City crept up on us, mile by mile: in the distance then close at hand, wreathed in steam and crowded with industry.
The illness crept up on her, thread by thread: crowding her throat then closing it, in spite of steamy rooms and industrious doctors.
Death crept up on us, hour by hour: it overtook us in the night.
