Resurrection (Blood of the Lamb)
“The ship had been lolling through a sloppy sea for three full days while, one by one, the women and their children succumbed to its stomach-churning motion, and still the pitching did not ease.
Maryam and Aanjay had done their best to help support them, but, as the stench intensified and mingled with the fumes of the engines, the lack of air grew ever more overpowering and they, too, fell under the energy-sapping pall. Poor Aanjay found the heaving motion of the swell especially trying, and... now she lay with her face buffeted in Maryam's lap as Maryam tried to shut her senses down and sleep. She hadn't vomited since yesterday—a blessing, she supposed—but just the thought of trying to swallow any kind of nourishment made her want to gag.
