I glanced at the windows. I could see nothing but the ocean for miles.

Captain told me to chart a course for an island, but it's hard when you can't see anything and the older crew members won't let you use tools for fear of you breaking them.

I moped out of the cabin and up to the deck.

I grabbed onto a ratline and scurried up a couple of rungs. I looked around in a circle.

Nothing. Of course, there was nothing.

I was bored, and I'm pretty sure there was nothing I could do about it.
