The air is cold and wet and dank, the chill sinking in through the ship’s hull from the rolling rainstorm outside, but Hamish is still sweating buckets, feeling as though there’s a burn under his skin, his…

The Butler
Short story. The captain’s steward used to be a butler. The captain’s steward made some members of the crew uncomfortable, and set them ill-at-ease.

Theophilus knew that it was no doubt…
