\ Summary  The Rime of the Ancient Mariner relates the experiences of a sailor who has returned from a long sea voyage. The mariner stops a man who is on the way to a wedding ceremony and begins to narrate a story.

Whenever he had decided to write a ghost story, surprisingly the plot had appeared from nowhere. The writer sat down to pen the story, though no idea occurred to him.
