Out At Sea.

Into The Storm

The crew had hoisted sails and the ship was now moving a bit faster. Drawing closer to the storm, the wind got chilly, the waters rough and the men were now feeling the drizzle of rain. "Men brace yourselves we will be heading into, possibly, the biggest storm known to man." The captain shouted to the crew. The chef down below walked up top. "Holy shit. I'm staying my ass downstairs." The chef ran downstairs and hid himself in a cabinet. Back on the top deck, the captain took a deep breath before they entered the storm.

As they enterd the storm it seemed as though the ship was being consumed by it. The waves became vicious and winds became wild. The rain beat down on them like shards of glass and the sails had so much wind the looked like they were going to rip apart. Waves as tall as fifty feet pushed the Majestic Maiden up and down. "We must find the eye of the storm. It will be calm there." The captain shouted to the navigator. All this time the first mate is nowhere to seen. "I would think with all this tossing of the ship my first mate would be up here." As soon as the captain said those words the first mate came blasting through the doors of the lower deck. Bruce slayer also known as Brutus. He was a strapping young man who has been with Captain Scott since he was just Scott. "Good to see you laddy. Thought you were going to stay under and miss all the fun." Captain Scott said to him. "Never captain."

As the ship was being tossed back and forth it was still intact until, a rod of lightning came down from the heavens and broke the main sail pole in two. The pole was about to hit one of the crew when the captain dove to save him. "Are you alright lad?" Captain asked him. "Yes sir, I'm fine. Thanks to you." He replied. "Captain!" The navigator shouted "we are approaching the eye sir." Captain ran up to him and saw what he saw. "Good Laddy. We can check the damages there." As they were about to leave the storm a massive wave accompanied by a strong wind pushed them back into the thick of it. "Damn. Brutus! Get the men to close the sails. That should stop the winds." Brutus shouted. "Aye Aye Captain! Men close the sails. We can't let those winds push us from the eye." As soon as the order was given the men pulled the ropes that held the sails and one by one the sails enclosed. When the sails were up a huge wave helped them move out the storm and though the thick clouds the Majestic Maiden flew out into calm eye.
