Flotsam - Jetsom - Lagan - Derelict

The current environment - for us in the West - is largely calm. In appearance.

Beneath the surface of the waters there are sharks and jellyfish and nasty creatures adorned by bioluminescence. Scavengers and Pirates are hiding behind every wisp of every lingering sea haar.

Castaway, adrift, sinking, sunk. At times it is difficult to ascertain which of these maritime states I belong to. I am currently trying to decide. If I could just get a long enough period of calm to look around.
