Of Monsters and Man by: Brass Lightning

Now, you must be thinking, "Why this story is called 'Of Monsters and Man' instead of 'Of Monsters and Men'?" Well, to answer your question, I'm the author and I can do whatever I want. And second, I feel like it. Anyways, this story is about inter-dimensional travel, love, and hope. Our main character's name is Jaymes. No, it isn't spelled wrong. Jaymes. He is in England with his mother and little brother. His father died in a boating incident involving the Bermuda Triangle. This is how the story begins…

"…hello? Can anyone hear me? This is Travis Hartford. Mayday! My ship is being sucked into some kind of….vortex. It's huge! There are bolts of energy being shot out of it….. Wait….NO! I have children! Please!..." The message ended. "Mommy? Is Dad okay?" my brother asked. "No, Tom. I don't think he is." My mom sobbed. "Mother? Are you alright?" I asked. "Tom, go upstairs." My mom ordered. Tom did as he was told. "Jaymes, you are the man of the house now." She started, "You have to stay strong for me. Can you do that?" She was tearing up. "Anything for you, mother" I replied. Not many people know this, but I am actually 23 years old. I am six-foot-five and I am fairly handsome. Brown hair, tan skin, but the only thing that sets people off is my eyes. They are similar to anime eyes, large and adorable. They are golden yellow with a deep blue trim.

That evening, sleep was impossible. I couldn't stop thinking about my Dad's odd message. What had taken him away from me? I was determined to find out. So, when my Mom went to bed, I packed up food, clothes and supplies and snuck out. England was rather peaceful at night. As I walked towards the pier, I thought about my upcoming journey. What will I do if I'm shipwrecked? Will I make it back okay? Why am I talking to myself? As I arrived at the boat, I looked around. "Have to make sure I'm alone." I stated aloud to myself. As I entered the small fishing boat, I noticed that the engine was running already. "Huh. Odd." I walked up to the wheel and started pushing on the throttle. It was still functioning properly. Then, I started my Voyage.
