Oceanic waves of blue crash violently against the hull of the ship. The people on the deck Panic hoping to be saved by some God. But nobody comes for them. Beneath all the people on the deck starving for medical attention, the slaves are birthing newborns for the trade. They are born, they grow, then they work. The women of the ship were sold for sex and were often younger than the age of six, my mother was supposed to be one of these few.
In the panic the possibilitie's claws digging into the crew's necks, they begin to question their lives. They kidnap young girls to rape them in which they birth children, boys work and women get sold for sodomy.
