Another ship. It’s the best news I could ever have imagined. Who are they going to send? Who’s coming? I stare out of the helm window, straining my eyes against the infinite blackness, pressing my fingernails into my palms so hard they sting. I can’t see anything except the silver pinprick stars. How long until I’ll be able to see The Eternity?How long until it will be able to see me?Anonymous

In the book, The Eternity, by William Kent Krueger, a young woman named Sadie is trying to adjust to a new life in a new place.

In this quote, she is describing how exciting it is when other people ship you.
That is the best news she could have imagined. However, there are some other ships out there that are not so nice and can be quite dangerous. Ships that will come to take you away from everything that you love and take away your freedom and cause you pain and suffering.
