This is part of a series of 50 word stories, I'm writing, set in the fictional town of Humpbuckle-on-sea.

Powerful and moving - the final line is a slam-dunk.
There's a scene in the 2018 AMC movie "The Terror" (Franklin Expedition of the 1840s trying to find the Northwest Passage) in which an innocent "Eskimaux" family is framed for the murder of two explorers. That sort of thing just sets my teeth on edge. Poor Margaret (I hope she is pure fiction) and shame on you, Chloe!

I love Tobias Menzies (a villain in the "Outlander" TV series/novels) in this film:

The mission was not successful and the two ships involved in the HMS Erebus and the HMS Terror have both been found in the Canadian Arctic by Parks Canada and are being protected by them. https://tobiasmenzies.org/videos/category/2018-the-terror/
