TABOO

WORSE THAN EVER

     They  continued throwing more boys into the water  then I secretly went to go and ask the man that is from our village  that was also taken away by the British many years ago  when I was still a little boy , I remember him as a family friend that comes to our house to visit until he was taken . I went to ask him why they are throwing the boys into the water even though I knew that it was because of  the storm and he said that if the weight was too much we might not survive the storm and then I reminded him of the curse and he is no ready to die and immediately I told him about the taboo and the consequences it started with immediate affect because that's his out it works I then tried to go and tell the white men but I remembered  that I cant speak like them and then the man  who was throwing boys into the water fell into the water and the storm miraculously stopped it was then I knew that the curse was real and he was also one of the man that's came to our house to ask for the permission to take some boys to their country  .The man from our village whom I later knew was now Austin came into the place where we were and I said I thought you said you are not afraid of death then he said he is afraid of a slow and painful death  and it looked like the only safe place on the "ship" and I asked him if that is what they call the big canoe and he said yes  and I asked him if he had any food because we were all starving and we didn't eat the food they gave us on the ship because we didn't like it. they
gave us  water from an unknown source and what they call bread but it was very hard and cold and some boys died due to stomach ache either out of hunger or bad food and their bodies were thrown into the water and the place where we were kept was very hot. and after many moons on the water we stopped and I thought we had reached our final destination but we were just being  transferred to another bigger ship  with more people that were not only  boys there were girls and men and women then we entered the bigger ship but we did not move for long , we  reached an island and the ship  got stock on the island so they told some boys to go and push it into the water they took as much boys as possible and when the ship was on the water already they started moving and left those boys on the island and the boys were shouting but they acted as if they did not hear them . those boys were stranded there with no way of going out of there and my best friend was there too but who will it be?
