As John opens his eyes, he sees time warped around him. He feels the cold eerie feeling of space between his fingertips. The chilling sensations dance through his spine. He looks around and sees as he is propelled into another worm hole. Then suddenly he blinks, and out of nowhere as he looks around the endless void, he suddenly feels a hard pain in his chest. He realized that he could not breathe, and then he felt a hard weight on his lungs. He felt his body froze as he dwelled into an abyss of nothingness, quite a shift of scenery from where he was a few seconds ago. His mind starts to twist and turn rapidly. Then he slowly passed into unconsciousness.
“Oy mates look, the man is waking up, call the captain” said one man who was looking at John weirdly.
As John suddenly regains consciousness, he coughs up some water and sits up. He looked around and saw a black flag. It was a picture of a skeleton piercing a trident through a heart. He then realizes one thing, he was on a ship. He looked around and saw a few men looking at him and asking if he was alright. As he viewed the people around him, they were all dressed raggedly, some even had wooden limbs, and other scars. As he scours the deck of the ship, he noticed lots of bottles of wine and cannon balls. He was given a small mug of water for him to drink. He thanks the man, then suddenly everyone’s attention was drawn as they saw a door open. Out came a giant bearded man approach him. The man knelt on one knee, looked John in the eye and opened his mouth which reeked of rum.
“Hey there laddie, we saw you drifting in the middle of the sea. You were sinking faster than a stone. What happened to you boy? You had quite a struggle there, lucky for you my first mate Rolando over here, cause he be the one who saw you going down. I ordered some of my crew grab a dingy and pull you out” said the man.
“Oh, then I would like to send to him my greatest thanks. If it weren’t for him, I could have died” John sighed.
“Well, he would have wanted to say welcome to you too” the man said.
“Why? Where is Rolando?” John asked.
“Well, he be locked up inside prison, he is due to be hanged by tomorrow along with a few other men from me crew” the man replied.
“But how is that possible? I was only out for like a few minutes” John answered.
“Well actually you weren’t me boy. You were out cold, and it you were asleep for a staggering three days” the man replied.
“What the? How did that happen?” John asked.
“I be confused as much as ye are. It be me first time to ever see a man go out cold after being swallowed by Davy Jones” the man replied.
“Well, maybe due to the fact that I had time traveled far into the past repetitively that my body suffered from too much fatigue” John replied.
“What are you saying me lad?” the man replied.
“What?...Oh I was not saying anything sorry, but please carry on” John replied.
“Ah okay then, well as the crew went out to pull you out of the blue, some of them were captured by the navy men. Only a few had escaped” the man said as he looked cross.
“Well, where is the prison that they are in?” John replied as he rose from the deck.
“Well bucko, they are not really in a prison, they’re marooned on an island guarded by a few ships belonging to her majesty. We can’t get them back because we will all be murdered” the man replied.
