Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Rain poured in broad grey sheets, almost obscuring the two-masted tall ship as she battled her way up a gargantuan wave
Even from a distance it was plain that she was in deep trouble./span/p
Her tattered sails fluttered uselessly in the intense wind, her foremast was dangling from the rigging, the hull was breached in several places, the bowsprit was long gone, and judging by her erratic handling her keel was snapped. In short, she was about as battered as a ship could get without sinking. But still she soldiered on, taking everything that the storm threw at her like a champ.
A new bolt of lightning struck her deck, and flames flickered weakly to life before extinguished by the downpour.
Suddenly a wave, twice as high as her main mast, rose and plowed into her, a clap of thunder not quite managing to drown out her crew's terrified screams.
Sorry that was so short. I usually write out my stories longhand before transcribing to the computer, so it will be a while until the next chapter is released. Please review.
Thanks again for reading, and with any luck I should have the next chapter out in the next few weeks! G'bye!
