• 10 DAYS LATER, LAT. 6°N OF THE COLD SEA.
"WHERE THE SHIT is my shitting shirt?!"
This loud cussing broke through a high redwood Cabin on the middle deck of a mighty sailing ship. Despite the winds being on their best today, the atmosphere was still cold as a siren's fucking kiss and sleeping mists rolled over the blue sea, whispering on and about the large vessel like frozen ghosts of drowned pirates. Skeleton faces in the fog.
"Fuuuuuuuuck!!!"
CRACK—
Another bassy yowling slithered on the cold winds—from the redwood cabin again. The few crew on the frigate's vast deck peered down the steps at the gingered boarding room and at each other. "That wild Sergeant, is it?" One man said, shawled in fat sweaters and a necktie. He stood by the strong roping of the immaculate masts. "Why can't that man be like the rest of the passengers, eh? Cozy and unbothered indoors, sleeping off the cold. We still got a'ways to go. I tell ya, he is damn crazy. The pretty ones always are."
