Mermaids, ETs that need to live in water to survive, drownings, almost-drownings, shipwrecks, pirate shipwrecks, pirate-caused shipwrecks...<br /><br />BTW, does the "kitchen sink" story mean the same thing as the "kitchen sink" drama? I write for theatre, and that is usually a specification in play contests: no kitchen sink drama.
