Law had noticed that S/O was late for dinner but didn’t really question it out loud. He wasn’t their babysitter after all and trusted that they would show up sooner or later. After all it was dinner and he would scold them for missing a meal if they didn’t show. The captain had began eating, only his crew was talking among themselves. Since he did not really do group conversations during dinner. Normally he would maybe say a would or two, he was better at one on one conversations. The dark…

A journey to Georgia Today Gravesend is perhaps best known as the final resting place of Pocahontus and as the site of the London River House, the port authority for the city of London. In 1732 Gravesend, 15 miles east of London on the Thames River, was one of several unrelated port cities that served the capital of England. It was from Gravesend that 114 men, women and children along with James Oglethorpe, pastor Henry Herbert, Doctor William Cox, Captain John Thomas and a crew of 20 set sail…

Robert Cormier’s We All Fall Down was published in 1991 but occurs at an earlier time period in the towns of Burnside and Wickburg. Although published in 1991, the setting is believed to have been at an earlier date, most likely the late 1980s because of Buddy’s alcoholism, the mall, and the book being published in 1991.

He stopped at a picture of a family. It was a mother and father with two young…

“Let’s look at the ocean, Mary,” said Lilly excitedly. I let myself be dragged off to the side of the ship. We were taking a cruise around Australia. The view I saw stunned me. Dolphins bouncing in and out of the water, fish in stunning oranges, yellows, and reds racing along, and a piece of land far away in the distance. “What’s that giant dark shape under the water,” I questioned. “Watch out!” screamed the crew, “there’s a whale heading towards the ship and she looks angry.” I grabbed…

The gate was wide open and there were off-duty soldiers scattered in three different spots playing random games. Two guard were at the bridge sitting there and didn’t notice them until they went right in front of them. They had barely anything to say but the captain arrived and asked Gen, the Magus and Sophos to follow them. When they followed the off-duty got suspicious and followed too. A beefy solider came by and took Sophos hands out of Gen shoulders. When they did, that Sophos yelled “Stop…
