Chapter One: Overboard

The rain was coming down in buckets, the wind was tearing through the sails like a mad wolf, the sea was tossing up waves higher than a mountain. Jack grimly tried to hang onto the wheel. The Black Pearl was as far away as you could get from land. Hmm, this seems rather like a movie, Jack thought to himself. He was interrupted by Gibbs.

"Captain! We're taking on water fast! She won't hold much longer! We have to get to land! Fast!" the distraught pirate yelled over the howling wind.

"Can't you see I'm trying?" Jack called back. Just then, a huge wave crashed over the side of the ship. Jack let go of the wheel, managing to cling to a loose rope. Gibbs was holding on to the mast. The wheel spun crazily, turning the ship quickly to the left. "Whoa!" Jack yelled as he swung around the front of the ship. He clung to the rope as he hung over the water.

"Captain overboard!" Gibbs yelled.

"I'm not overboard yet!" Jack called over the wind as he attempted to climb back up the rope on to the ship. Climbing hand over hand was difficult, the wind and rain constantly bashing him against the side of the boat. He finally managed to climb up to the railing. As his head came into view Gibbs called out.

"Jack! You're alive!"

"Of course I am!" Jack yelled, still trying to scramble over the railing. A huge wave came, ending his struggles. Jack was washed over the ship, and into the churning sea.
