Wonka

Chapter 1: A Hatful of Dreams

——————————🍫——————————

A large boat emerged from the mist that had settled over the ocean. The sun had just risen above the horizon, giving the sky a beautiful pink and orange glow.

On one of the masts of the ship, a young man named Willy Wonka stood, looking out into the distance. He was tall and thin, with curly black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing tan striped pants, a white shirt with a brown vest along with a pair of brown boots.

Willy looked out at sea, watching as the ship approached the land.

🎵Willy: "After seven years of life upon the ocean, it is time to bid the seven seas farewell. And the city I've pinned seven years of hopes on, lies just over the horizon, I can hear the harbor bell."🎵

The bell of the ship rung, and Willy cupped his hand to his mouth.

🎵Willy: "Land, ahoy!"🎵

Willy slid down one of the ropes to land on the deck of the ship, then made his way down below to gather his things.

🎵Willy: "Got a tattered overcoat and battered suitcase."🎵

A man helped him pull on his brown coat and someone else tossed him his suitcase.

🎵Man: "Au revoir, chef!"🎵

🎵Willy: "Got a pair of leaky boots upon my feet."🎵

As he stepped out a door, a woman threw a bucket of water on his foot by accident.

🎵Woman: "Sorry, cook!"🎵

Willy shrugged it off and grabbed her hand, spinning her around.

🎵Willy: "Gotta drag myself up by my one good bootlace. Gotta work my rotten socks off if I want to make ends meet."🎵

Willy grabbed a small sack and threw it over his shoulder, while grabbing a thin cane and stepping onto a pinch of crates that were being lifted up onto the deck.

🎵Willy: "I've poured everything I've got into my chocolate."🎵

Someone tossed him a slightly worn brown hat and he placed it on his head.

🎵Willy: "Now, it's time to show the world my recipes."🎵

The captain of the ship poked his head out of the window and tossed him a small bag of coins.

🎵Captain: "Good luck Willy!"🎵

The crane of crates hovered over a passing truck, and Willy hopped off the crates and sat on top of the truck.

🎵Willy: "I've got twelve silver sovereigns in my pocket, and a hatful of dreams."🎵

...

The truck drove into the heart of the city, and Willy jumped off, and slid around a street lamp, looking around in awe.

🎵Willy: "There's a famous restaurant on every street here. There's Brandino's and the Bar Parisienne."🎵
