It took a few seconds to fathom my sleep addled brain could only stare dumbly at the wide blue sea that faced me.
I'm sure the most stupid look of perplexity was upon my face as I recounted clearly falling asleep below deck. How could I have even If I was awake moved my bed up to the highest crows nest? With utmost care I removed myself from the bed trying not to disturb it's precarious balance once I made it down I was all for going straight back to bed in one of the spares below. This daydream of pleasant sleep was interrupted by grandma, who was one of the truest mysteries of this ship her sleep patterns erratic to the point that when Aaron tried to study her he became almost ill from the strangest sleep pattern only she could endure and odd and seemingly pointless rituals that only she could understand.
One of these such practices is the frequent rearrangal of everything."did you like the veiw dear? I thought you would like some air? "
It took a while for me to wrap a, very sleepy given the circumstances , mind around this statement so whilst I was dealing with extreme bewilderment mum came up on deck.
"oh you're up early this morning sweetie!"All I could do was point...
"oh that is a problem! ill just go get your uncle max and gorden they'll help!"
Within a few moments a small crowd had gathered on deck, grandma however was no where to be found.
With the help of my uncle gorden and max we retrieved the bed from the crow's nest ( let us not question how grandma got it up there! )though I didn't help much, I really just ran around trying to be useful until mum dragged me out the way before I was flattened. From previous experiences the pillowcase had been firmly attached to the sheet with the bed clothes tucked under and the mattress nailed to the bed frame. even upside down we would have no problem and with the bed frame sturdy and reinforced as it was the two uncles lowered the bed along the rigging without much trouble. We were just about to set the bed the right way up when...BOOM!
Aaron appeared sheepishly after we watched the bed fly graclessly from the deck into the farther reaches of the sea before, sinking slowly and resloutly with no hope of retrieval.
"err... I got the cannon working"
Uncle max patted his shoulder "that's brilliant! Aaron I knew we could trust you!"
Many back pats were exchanged I had no heart nor mind to join in so I whent to the starboard side of the ship to look for my bed.
Suddenly!, there was a loud band and pink glitter exploded from the cabin portholes. Me and mum shared a glance and with one mind rushed down the first layer steps and through storage into the cabin where the smoke had just started to clear.
