The Island of the Lost Engines

Have you ever told someone the truth, and they never really did believe you? Did you ever tell them something that you knew was the truth, but could never get anybody to take you seriously. That's what it was like for Charlie. Charlie was different, to say the least. Some people would often describe him as Vintage, or old fashioned. He had maps of the world plastered all over his walls, and a large globe that stood on the edge of his desk. He was always looking for something. Something that never really showed up on any maps that he could find. What was he looking for in particular? Well, no one really knew. He never did tell anyone what he was doing. Not even his own Mother really knew. She thought he was just some crazy kid with too big of an ambition. The only person that really understood him was his Father. But he's gone now. Lost at sea, due to a malfunction on a plane. They never did find the plane, nor did anything wash up on any beaches. So that brings one question to mind. Is Charlie looking for his dad?
