"Aunt Josephine! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" the orphans screamed, as their boat sailed farther away from the sinking Aunt Josephine. Captain Sham had mercilessly thrown her overboard where the vicious Lachrymose leeches would surely devour her. They helplessly watched her sinking. Before her head completely slipped under, they could hear a faint voice saying, "'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' is not a complete sentence, children!"
Aunt Jo took one last gulp of air before the choppy waters completely engulfed her. She tried not to think about the leeches that were swarming around her and of how frightened she was. Instead she focused on the fact that she would be seeing her beloved husband, Ike again very soon. She tightly shut her eyes to block out the leeches that were beginning to nibble...
Just then, the gloved hand of a diver grasped her arm. (Don't ask me why someone was diving in the lake during a terrible hurricane, I don't know.) He beckoned for her to come with him; he would save her. Josephine just stared at him, petrified. He had an air tank on his back. She was terrified of air tanks! What if it blew up? But her choices were between being ripped to shreds by hungry leeches or escaping with a diver that possessed an air tank, so of course she chose... the leeches. Nuh-uh, no way was she getting any closer to that air tank. She'd rather be eaten. She swam closer to the swarm of leeches to show the diver that she'd made her choice, but unfortunately, something got in her way.
An enormous, slimy purple and green tentacle seized her from behind. The tentacle was attached to a great squid like creature, who, with one glance, could tell that she needed help. She was running out of breath; her lips were turning blue. The squid creature carried her up to the surface and deposited her, unconscious on a rocky shore.
A sailor soon showed up and did chest compressions on Aunt Josephine. After she came to, she thanked him profusely, then distracted him while she stole his wallet. She ran far, far, away from that shore of Lake Lachrymose, knowing she could never return again. She would have to make a new life for herself with the help of the meager amount of cash in the sailor's wallet. Captain Sham must not know she was still alive.
