What Happens

A grief-stricken sailor walks into the sea with a rock tied around his neck. Before he goes under, he sees a mysterious woman in a black shroud standing above the water line. 

He seems to fall in love with the woman, and he does her bidding, no matter how terrible her requests become…

Commentary

It’s not completely without dialogue, but it’s awfully close. It’s done in black-and-white, which only adds to the dread of the dreary, hopeless setting. We don’t really get much of an explanation, but we get most of what we need here. 

It’s… bleak, and more than a little Lovecraftian.
