Lowest Tide: Freak Zoology and Baiting in a Wasted Land
by
Mark Ferguson
 
 
In the toxic wasteland of the Aral Sea, now dubbed the "Silent Chernobyl," a bizarre and ominous gathering unfolds around the abandoned Soviet ship, Lev Berg. Thousands descend upon the desolate site for a nine-day festival, turning the wreck into a chaotic yet organized makeshift town.
 
Amid the dust and disarray, Nikos, a Greek observer, watches the eerie mix of wild revelry and dark undercurrents.
 
As night falls, the festival’s unsettling vibe deepens. Strange tales of Soviet experiments and eerie rituals surface, and a mysterious figure named Golnar, clad only in a red speedo, reveals the narrator’s supposed immunity to magic, adding a surreal twist to the already haunting atmosphere.
 
Inside the Lev, the madness escalates as the narrator and their companions encounter grotesque visions, drug-induced hallucinations, and sinister forces, all while navigating a ship teeming with chaos and dark magic.
 
The festival is a nightmarish blend of the surreal, the horrifying, and the absurd, drawing everyone closer to the core of its twisted spectacle.
