When I took a last look at the Yahoo News before shutting my computer down, I almost had a heart attack--well, maybe not quite. But I did scream, "It can't be! That's MY ghost ship! How dare it still be afloat!"

Yes, the Lyubov Orlova is the very ghost ship I am breathing new life into in my work-in-progress, "After the Cataclysm." Judging from the research on her, I surely thought she had long since slipped beneath the waves of the Atlantic as there had been no sightings for one year. Hence, I thought I was free to do with her as I pleased. Well, at least I was right about the RATS!
(A helpful person sent me this image of the 'cannibals.'
That's enough to want that ship sunk.)
I just hope she is not up to any mischief (such as crashing onto shore) before I finish my novel. Because that would surely ruin my plans for her. And they say the life of a novelist is all make-belief.
Oh, I can't believe this! Sorry your ship has reappeared. What are the odds?? And the whole story about the rats is one of the creepiest things I've ever read.
