  1. A retired couple are embarking on their first cruise. It’s going to be a cruise of a lifetime. On the second day the Captain announces over the tannoy that passengers are confined to their cabins and must not use their balconies as a weather system of concern is approaching them at speed. The story unfolds as the situation deteriorates rapidly.

  2. My story is about a couple. The husband has spent months planning an ocean voyage, single handed, in his yacht. His wife has been to the quay and waved him goodbye. She returned to their apartment and watched from their terrace until he was lost from view. She went inside to fetch a coffee and returned to see this ominous weather system developing. And then the drama unfurled.
