Synopsis[edit]
Captain McCallister tells the story of The Trench Wraith.
Plot[edit]
When Captain McCallister was the captain on the ship Gertrude Stein, he had a cabin boy, Toby Trivel. Toby's small hands meant he could reach in to fix whirring gears, greased up and sent in to unclog pipes, and he made excellent bait. He also loved sea creatures and made his room into an aquarium. At a port in Hong Kong, Toby found an exotic fish shop and bought a strange looking fish, that the shopkeeper told his would bring doom if brought onto a ship. Toby didn't listen to her and bought the fish anyway, taking it aboard the Gertrude Stein, and named it Colonel Sucky Mouth.
As the crew were heading towards Paris to deliver outfits for the Paris Women's Fashion Show, Colonel Sucky Mouth began to glow green and its eyes began pulsating. Colonel Sucky Mouth then emitted a loud squeal, which summoned its mother. Crew members began disappearing and ending up dead. Whilst the crew tried to find the murderer, Captain McCallister opened the water tank on the ship and found the mother. The mother attacked the Captain until Toby came along, knowing he was the only one who could save them. The sea beast sucked the life out of Toby as Toby yelled at the crew to take care of Colonel Sucky Mouth for him.
