  1. The dinner was still warm.
  2. Plates on the table, a cup still steaming.
  3. In 1872, sailors boarded this ship, drifting silently across the open Atlantic.
  4. No crew anywhere.
  5. The lifeboat, gone.
  6. So where did they go?

The prompt we used

A faceless mystery short, 15 seconds. Hook in the very first second: 'They found the ship drifting... and dinner was still warm.' In 1872 sailors board an abandoned ship in the open Atlantic: plates on the table, a cup still steaming, the lifeboat gone, no crew. End on the unanswered question: where did they go?
