Early in the morning, before any sun had peaked over the surrounding mountains there was activity at the dock. This wasn’t unusual as there was activity there every morning. Between ships getting ready to go out to fish, to ships coming in, the commotion was there. At the end of the small dock, almost tucked away as if not to be seen and as far from the larger ships as possible, was a ship that flew a black and white flag.

No wind, no rain, no movement for as far as the eye could see. The captain paced on the deck behind the helm. Ten days they have been stuck in the same place. Bobbing along with the ripples of the current but not progressing anywhere. The captain has traveled these waters for years and has never seen this before. If he didn’t figure something out now, he would probably end up with mutiny on his hands. The captain slammed his fist on the table before he picked up his spyglass, to see just sea and rocks. As he was looking o...
