DEAD SEA: Adventure's of Long John Liverstock

The Dead Coast: Part 1 of 2


(Along the Galapagos Islands, 1728)
Long John Liverstock, hurry I found one! shouted Whiskers, his supposed sidekick.
Aye, what now? John slipped out of bed, still filled with his daily dreams.
He stepped on deck to his ship, The Silver Dagger. He walked through the debris of iron and wood, stepping over the drunken pirates lay his ship.



Whiskers stood at the edge of the Quarter Deck, grabbing the main sail with his hand containing a claw, on two fingers.
Captain, look more land, we can land and gather some resources before we head to the isles near Hawaii. Said Whiskers.
True, land near the port in Columbia, there we can stack up on our needs, and wake up these men, they are sailors not wasted pirates
But how shall I, replied Whiskers. Shall I put a round in the water with the rear cannons?

Long John accepted and he walked to the main sail and stared to the far land that awaited them.
Hours passed by and the sailors were all at their stations. Long John finally saw a miniature patch of land ahead.
He ordered Natasha, a female that joined the crew for payback to the other sea pirates who killed her family.
Natasha, move our ship to the island over there, the palm tree, and the copper boulder
Why Captain what's the point, we will be near Columbia in a few hours.
No, I see a sign, someone is giving us a signal. The person is magnifying the light to reach the direction of our ship.
Another crew member, please we have enough as it is.
We must find out why he was stranded on such a piece of dirt, pull us in!

Natasha pulled the wheel left and right reaching the specific coordinated to get to the little island. Long John got a few Sailors with him and Whiskers as they headed out to the land.
Aye, what's your business here, you stranded? asked Long John.
My crew (Coughing non-stop) they killed them all of them!
Who is this, we can help you? asked Whiskers.
My name is Dominic Dominic Hueg. We were sailing across the Panama and Costa Rica when a blank cannon came out of nowhere. It seemed to have a source or some kind of firepower that ripped my ship in half. Therefore these people, I could not understand their language, I am from Ireland and so my crew. They killed them all and took me here alone and unarmed.
Can you tell they had a certain accent, or looks of a race or ethnicity, quickly replied Long John.
Um, yes they had a sort of Middle European accent, I would say a deep-throat tune.
Ah, Long John maybe
