Sick Cruising

Come aboard the All Powerful, join the very rich and the very famous in a joyful escape from the newest sickness that's coursing through nations and lives worldwide. Escape Red Lungs in style. In luxury. Coddled and served by a cadre of young, attractive and well-trained staff. Red lungs, Covid-21, the Dreaming Disease. It starts with precognitive dreams, spins you into unreality along with the sniffles until it floods your lungs with blood. But if you're rich enough, you may sail to safety in splendor. With an exclusive invitation from one of the world's richest man you too can escape the anxiety of the newest developing pandemic in style. Wait, those faint smears on the corridor's wall, blood? Be entertained by Country star sensation Sweet Dew Dewsome, Hip Hop/rapper extraordinaire SlrFlare and the Great Mollum, extreme magician. But is that a muffled scream you hear in the darkened auditorium? Boutique wines from the famous vintner Dale Morton winery will accompany exquisite and plentiful gourmet meals. Are those wet coughs you hear behind you? Join us on this cruise and find out if safety, or blood awaits.
