Transoceanic Tedium

Write about a character who gets aboard a cargo freight for a long, lonely voyage.

How does the solitude at sea, without any kind of modern amenities or common distractions of the land, force the protagonist to grapple with their own thoughts and feelings? What are their fears, dreams, regrets, thoughts about life that they confront in this solitude? Can loneliness lead to profound, life-altering realizations? This prompt invites writers to delve into themes of loneliness, introspection, and philosophical musings.
