Welcome back to Aral Stein Story Club.

I'm Ivy, the club leader, your guide through the strange, the frightening, the unsettling

Story Club world.

We're headed back to Aral Stein's secret vault for a real zinger of a story. Jared and Max are just curious enough during spring break to visit a haunted sailboat.

What happens next after they climb aboard will shock and amazio.

It's Arlstein Story Club and this story is called My Night on the Haunted Ship.

You know, I could have stayed home and played video games in my own living room.

Is there anything else to do around here?

You're in Middle Village, the most boring town on earth.

If we built Middle Village, it would be flat, brown, and dull.

Let's definitely not do that.

I'm telling you, Max, you've arrived in Dullesville.

Here are the top three attractions in Middle Village, the flower park at the water tower,

the middle school playground, and the flower park at the water tower.

You said flower park twice.

I know.

We don't even have three lousy attractions.

Could we climb the water tower and throw water balloons on people staring at flowers?

That's actually a pretty good idea. I know, right?

How can you two just sit there and stare at a screen all afternoon? It's a beautiful spring day outside.

Do we have any water balloons? Also water. We're going to need water.

If I give you water balloons, will you promise not to throw them at random people?
