Hey guys! So this is a bunch of one-shots of random-things in no order at all! This first one is really weird and it does contain the idea of Reincarnation. I am not religious, and I mean no offence to anybody who is. so sorry in advance and lets go!

The wind ruffled the sails, pushing the large ship through the clear aqua water, like a knife slicing through warm butter. The wood creaked as feet shuffled along the deck. Men and woman scatter, tending to ropes and rolling barrels of gunpowder. All but one man wasn't buzzing around. He was strolling around on the deck, his thick black boots surprisingly silent on the splintered planks. His red coat billowing in the wind behind him, brass buckles shining in the sun. His eyes gleaming as he watched his crew work. His hand behind his back, gripping the hook where his left hand had once been.  He passed a woman, bent over the side of the ship, bearing her guts to the ocean. He eyed another man who was holding her blond hair high above her head, as to not get caught in the flow of vomit. He chuckled, and with a swipe of his hook, a flash of silver and a braid of blond hair thumped to the deck. The woman looked up, fear and tears swimming in her eyes.


He shrugged and growled "It was in the way of ye work" and continued to stroll down the deck of the ship, a cruel smirk plastered on his face. But he was pulled up short when a girl with lop sided, raven hair jumped in front of him. He glared down at her, but stopped and sighed. "What be the bad news?" He asked, turning around and covering his eyes. He could feel a headache coming on. "What do ya' mean, Cap?" She asked, squinting up at him innocently. The sun cast a long shadow over the short girl. "Ey mean, every time ye come to see me, Ye bring trouble!" He yelled. She rolled back on her heels, and tugged on the sleeve of her ash-stained shirt. "We are short on rations, mainly fresh water" She said. The captain swore loudly, smashing his fist onto a nearby wooden crate. He spun around, muttering darkly under his foul breath. And suddenly a horrid grin appeared on his face. His mind quickly spun its gears, and started to shout at his crew to tie down everything. "What are you doing, Cap?" the girl asked, getting nervous. When the Captain was happy, something dangerous was about to happen. "we got our fesh water suply till we die" He pointed a finger to the horizon. And what she saw there made her want to take the pirate by the shoulder and shake him, telling him to turn around, that they could avoid it if they were quick. And ther, in the horizen she saw black rain clouds, tumbling over the sky like an upturned ink bottle, spilling across white paper.





The ship was in uproar, people screaming, clinging to the ropes and slippery wooden banisters. The ship was overflowing with dark water. People were scooping water out as fast as it was pouring in.  The thunder rolled and lightning flashed, illumining everything for a moment, then returning to the blue darkness. The only one who seemed to be enjoying it was the Captain, who was standing at the wheel, boots firmly planted, and laughing like a maniac, his scraggly red hair clinging to his face. His laughter roared across the ship, challenging the thunder to a loud-off. Then a gigantic wall of water climbed up, the moon shining through it for just a second. The girl clung to the mast, quickly saying her prays, and fearing Death. The Captain smiled, a hint of Insanity shining in this hazel eyes. And the water could hold its massive itself up no longer; it crashed down upon the tiny ship, the wood splintering, killing everybody aboard.
