3 weeksThat is how long my friend and I have been on the sea .
I sat in the small cabin at the bottom of the boat , a thin blanket draped across my shoulders. My body swayed with the rocking of the waves . The smell of salt from sea water filled the air .
My thin fingers gripped the pen as I looked down at my worn diary . Im getting very say I'm getting very tiresome.1933,
Mother,
I'm afraid to say that my journey has taken longer than expected. I fear that I misread the map . The man I boarded the ship with doesn't speak . I don't know if he's impaired or doesn't speak English. He eats very little. I'm afraid. I don't want to be alone mother. We are terribly far from home . Anyway , if you come across my diary I want you to know I love you . Let my Annie know I love her .
I stopped closing my diary hearing the door open for the cabin .
I looked at the dark haired man and smiled kindly hopefully he returns one .My hopes were immediately crushed seeing him turn his head away from me. The man shuffled over to his cot setup on the floor .
I'm not sure if he can hear me . However I'm sure as hell he can sail .I shivered closing my blanket standing up and returning outside.
The gushes of wind made me immediately pull my blanket tighter .
The waters has been so rough , the weather getting worse with each day . The sky above was full with tumultuous, dark and ragged clouds .
I stepped out carefully making sure everything was tighten and in place. I didn't want to damage anything.I heard something .
My head snapped over to the muffled call . Was someone wrecked ?
My eyes searched the dark waters intently. The sound of the waves started to grow silent to me . All I can hear was this singing ? Just melodic tones .
It was extremely beautiful.
It-
It's hard to describe
No words just beautiful hums .
Bliss filled my body and I felt content I guess ? Happy maybe ?
I felt a smile grow on my chapped lips. My hunger in my belly was no more .That's when I saw a head emerge from the water and then disappear. My eyes widen seeing it was a woman .
The sound began growing in my ears , I felt my heart beat harder in my chest .
She needed my help .
I need to jump .
I jumped .
