*****

It was now the fifth day and though Delaney didn't know it, his nightmare was about to end.

It was Norton who brought him the news. The pilot arrived on deck with a pint of water and, for the first time, a cup of coffee.

"You don't expect me to drink that, do you?" Delaney asked, looking at the steaming mug.

"Yeah, I do," Norton replied.

Norton looked different. It took Delaney a moment to realize why. Finally it hit him. Norton was unshaven, in need of a haircut, and his clothes weren't exactly spiffy. For the first time ever, his friend actually looked unkempt.

"Look in a mirror yourself," Norton told Delaney, reading his thoughts. Then he passed the coffee cup into Delaney's shaking hands.

"What makes you think I can actually keep this down?" Delaney asked him.

"Because I have good news for you," Norton replied.

Delaney stood up straight for what seemed like the first time in years. "And that is?"

Norton pointed to something just off their bow. They were in a thick fog, and Delaney tried hard to focus his bleary eyes. After a few moments, he could just barely make out the outlines of something floating in the middle of the bluish-green water. It looked like an extremely large sludge barge.

"What the hell is that thing?" he managed to blurt out.

"It's our destination," Norton told him. "We're finally here."
