The Tale of a Pirate

[Christopher]

Chapter 2: The Journey
“Oh no… if people know who I am, I’ll be reported to the British navy and be killed before morning!” Thought Christopher.

Christopher realized that its almost midnight, and that people are going to go inside to sleep. He then walked to the nearest dockworker, hoping he was awake and didn’t recognize him, and asked for a boat.

“Ye need to give me a pretty penny before I can give you a pretty ship, aye?” Said the dock worker.

“But I don’t have a pretty penny” Responded Christopher

“Then go away!”

“Wait! Is there anything I can do?”

“No! Well, there is one thing.”

“What? What?”

“Repair a ship of mine for me; luckily I have some tools for you.”

In a couple hours, Christopher finished the hull, which was all he needed to repair.

“Ok, I’m done”

“ZZZZzzzz” Snored the dockworker.

“Oh boy… WAKE UP!”

“Wha? What do ye want?!”

“The boat! Give me a boat! I repaired your ship!”

“Oh yes, it’s at the dock, give this to the guard. It’s like a pass”

“Thank you”

“Oh no” Christopher thought “Hopefully the guard won’t know I’m a pirate”
Christopher walked to the dock and saw the guard and the boat. The guard looked at Christopher with a funny expression but was too sleepy to realize he was a pirate. Christopher tossed the pass to him and he fell to the ground, snoring.

“Wow” Christopher thought, “He really is sleepy.”

Christopher jumped on his ship, it was very similar to his other one that sunk. With his sails ready, he set sail to Tortuga, with a smile on his face.
