A cry in the dark.

Caribbean?

The Flagship is sailing south. The Captain is still unconscious on deck. The winds are setting the ships course. Still no sign of Mr Duffield, or the mad cook, who has now been given the name of Tom Hooking, who was once very good looking.

Chapter 2

Out at sea Daniel and his Elephant companion sail the high waves on a makeshift raft. The little Indian Elephant is exausted and fast asleep. Daniel has been crying and praying for some miracle to save them from the hounding sharks.

Darkness and peace

The crying noise stopped, the Captain felt dizzy, and after a stumble, fell to the ground and went to sleep. Darkness and peace for some time. The Flagship sailed peacefully through the night. The next day had brought with it some sunshine, and..

Steady as she goes..

Another day at sea and the winds haven’t changed. The Flagship’s not feeling too good, and actually, it isn’t bothered where it’s heading. A great white shark, one that has been tailing the Flagship for weeks, is still at large, and not far from site.

Below deck, the crashing and banging of cutlery hasn’t stopped for days. The Captain’s cook’ is in a foul mood and hasn’t been seen for weeks, except for the cooking and bringing of food, which he sometimes just leaves on the table, without being seen himself .

The Flagship has one more companion, a dog. The dog goes by the name of ‘Mr Duffield’.
Mr Duffield has been hiding too, and he spends most of his time watching the great white shark from the porthole near his hiding place.

The Captain thinks he’s doomed because of the enormous great white shark that follows the Flagship. He thinks the shark senses danger and doom ahead.

Below deck, the cook, who has not been named yet, throws bits of old meat, that have gone off out of the porthole. It is the sharks favorite snack.

The Captain lights up his pipe that's been stuffed with his favorite tobbacco. He feels light hearted tonight and content with the day. There's been no sign of the shark, no rattling pans, and no barking Mr Duffield. Suddenly the Captain hears a strange noise, a cry, something like a fog horn, or more like a Elephant in great pain. What is it? Where is it coming from? And where is the cook and Mr Duffield? The Captain blows the Flagships warning horn, which should summons all on deck. Nothing, not a sound from below, and again he hears the strange crying sound..

Pulling up the ancor.

It seems time to move on, but where to? which direction should I take? or should I let the winds decide? The Flagship sets sail, bound for somewhere nobody knows, not even the captain below.

The ship sails...

Even as I beginn my new journey, I can't help but wonder what adventures I will encounter on my way across this vast blue blanket of the worlds ocean. I want a fresh start. Fresh sails must be opened. I have to see a different light. Now I'm standing out front, in the wind, and all I can do is wonder and wait, wonder and wait...
