just a thought I had and wanted to put out their.
The storm had come hard and fast buffering the ship with gale force winds and waves almost as high as the ships mast! the crew were trying to remove the sails before they were ruined by the weather, while I shouted at my troops to assist the sailors as best they can instead of hiding below deck. I was just about to join the sailors myself but I was thrown to the ground by an explosion, the last thing I saw before my vision went dark was the ships burning mast falling towards the captains cabin.
I hope some good writers get inspired to write something! thanks for checking this out.
