All I needed was a miracle, a miracle that could help take me through this disaster.

 The moonlight was my only companion as it gave me the light that I needed, the sun had betrayed me and gone down its path. The storms were terrible as some of the lightning bolts struck my mast, then I saw it the biggest most terrifying tsunami grovelling through the water roaring to get at me.

 It was taller than Mt Everest maybe even higher, but the shock was even bigger as the water pressure lightly tapped me I was sent sprawling to the floor.  My hands were in the hands of God, no luck and god.

I guess that was all I remembered after the tsunami struck. "It's all gonna be all right hon" a soothing voice told me and caressed me, it felt as if all the darkness and pain had just been pulled away from me. I opened my eyes, the sunlight burned my body and it felt as if all the pain had just doubled. I didn't want this to be End I told the woman, but she just shook her head and shouted "YOU SHOULDN'T BE AWAKE YOUNG MAN!!" That was all it took to knock me out fro another 3 weeks, guess i was weaker than I thought. 

When I woke I could see my family gathered around me sobbing and crying, I tried to tell them I was alive, but my voice was hoarse and if i spoke I thought that it would burn my throat. I croaked "I'm... alive." They leaped back in astonishment and frantically pointed at the board, it, it, it said that I was dead and I knew that the recent tech wouldn't lie. I didn't know what happened, but now whatever I do is strange sometimes stomach shouts at me to eat poison so I eat it. These days I can't bear to be different, but I can't change not after what happened nowadays I'm different and I respect it nowadays people call me Pluton. 

                  The End]]> 2017-10-31 01:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976535 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976539 Lightning struck at the innocent waves waking them in their peaceful sleep to challenge their temper. The ocean seemed to gather an army of waves to swallow the disturbance which was the ship I was in. The moon seemed to be brave enough to peek at the horrifying scene from its comfy bed. I was standing on the wooden deck that creaked unpleasantly. I was like a toddler rocked in my cradle rather aggressively. Sailors were screaming orders at each other whilst I stared at the grey sky looming over the ship.

The storm got worse every hour and the moon had hid in fear. Waterfalls of freezing, salty water hit me and drenched me to the bone. The thunder and lightning were like a cacophony of bass drums. I staggered across the soaked deck since I knew the storm and waves had won. Suddenly, a mouth of black water flooded the deck and all the sailors including me were sprawled on the floor gasping for precious air.

A chill went down my spine as more waves were coming closer. It was an endless maze of torture. I was a child ]]> 2017-10-31 01:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976539 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976574 The silver moon tentatively peaked from behind the navy clouds. Forks of lightning momentarily illuminated the sky. Thunder boomed like a demanding king. 

I was hunched up in a tight ball, sitting on my stained bed. My body dragged with the motion of the boat as if it were a rag doll. I cautiously peered out the diminutive, glass window of my cabin. The raging ocean went silent for a moment; strangely silent. 

Without warning a towering wave crashed against the window. The glass shattered. My head disappeared in my lap, before the glass could hit my face. 

It felt like a thousand bee stings all at once... no, worse than that. Much worse than that. I screamed until my throat went hoarse. Warm blood coursed down, as a shard of glass ripped through my leg. 

Another wave hit the boat, stronger than before. My whole body lurched to the left. Icy water smacked me, leaving my eyelashes crusted in salt. The waves were becoming more frequent now, and growing bigger by the minute.

It was then when I realised that my cabin was slowly filling with salty sea water. I ran over to the door of my cabin, my leg roaring with pain. I pulled on the door. It didn't open. I tried again. Still nothing. I gave it a final yank, but it did not open. 

How had I ended up on this boat, alone? What was I doing?]]> 2017-10-31 01:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976574 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976579 The wind howled as thunder came striking down as if god was angry. The ship turned and tossed, and the crew were quickly moving light on their feet to pull the anchors and drive the ship away from the storm. Lifeboats were lowered into the water as people frantically ran across the ship, knowing it was sinking,  fast. 
"Get on the lifeboats!" The captain cried as half of the ship snapped and quickly got pulled into the deep, blue darkness below. We were doomed.

I quickly scrambled onto a lifeboat and pulled my lifejacket  on tight. In two seconds, the lifeboat was full and everybody was cramped like a sandwich  inside. Huge waves crashed onto the wood of the boat, the planks slowly coming off one by one. The coruscating, bright moon peeked out from the clouds and that is when I saw a catastrophe.

Lifeless bodies of people floating on the surface of the freezing water, there mouths slightly open and their eyes closed. I heard the screams of people tearing through the night sky with the rain pouring down so heavily that it started to hail. Ice fell onto our heads and backs with thunder and lightning. Nothing could be worse then this.

The storm roared as lightning pierced the sea. This was the worst storm I had encountered. My eardrums splintered like old wood as I heard the screams of the children on board and the crack of lightning only about a kilometre away. Water was sloshing onto the deck, completely drenching my shoes. The water in my boots squelched as I struggled to get to cover, but the boat was rocking too violently. The moon peeped out from the clouds, watching the disaster strike our ship, then tucked its head back in under the blanket of clouds. Rain stung as it slapped onto my skin, but I couldn't escape it. I took a few steps forward, but the water made me slip and I fell onto the creaking wooden boards. My arms stuck out as I tried to use them to brace my fall, but instead I heard a CRACK! Someone's scream almost made me deaf. Then I realised it was mine. My left arm throbbed in agony. It was broken ! I couldn't stand up; I tried to with one arm, but it didn't work. I looked out to see the raging waves engulf the boat and plunged into the cold, blue water.]]> 2017-10-31 01:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976600 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976611 The wind howled as the boat was tossed around 
Iike a toy rowboat. Waves crashed onto the barnacle covered, wooden side. Waves struck again. The boat rocked, threatening keel over. 

Lightning struck to close to the boat for my liking, I dived for cover as another great wave flooded the rickety, old boat. Waves were sweeping the boat toward the shore. The shore was dull, the sand was guarded by mounds of seaweed washed up from the beast of the ocean. The sand was mud but it was still out of the water.

The boat was carried by the current toward the rocks, the rotting wood would shatter as soon as it touched the barnacle blistered rocks. With a last attempt to turn the dank wheel the boat collided with the rocks, wood shattered as the raging water was upon me. 

The beach was too far away to swim to and the waves were to strong. I struggled against the tide but the waves were frothing at the mouth like a dog sighting a young rabbit. I was this dogs dinner. Lightening struck again and the sky gave a drum roll as I was pulled further into the icy tendrils of the stormy sea.]]> 2017-10-31 01:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976611 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976618 Waves crashed into the side of the boat, violently rocking the pathetic wreck side to side in the frothy white-capped water. All was still for a moment, until another heaving wall of water came plummeting down on the boat and it lurched forward. Suddenly a bolt of jagged lightning struck the mast and shook the ragged boat until the electricity was drawn back into the sky like a coin being pulled to a magnet. Then a deep blue mass rose from the water until it loomed above the ship, casting eerie shadows upon the water below. It was a tsunami. As it rushed forwards, giant swells of water filled what was left of the ship with fish and seaweed. The dilapidated ship tumbled forwards, heading to the horizon, as the land got closer and closer.]]> 2017-10-31 01:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976618 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976634 I stand at the mast of the old pirate ship looking out across the stormy sea. A giangantic wave slammed into the ships hull and for the first time I was scared that the old ship might not make it. 

I shivered as fingers of lightning tear the inky sky apart and a thundering boom that shook the world. The full moon peeked out from behind the clouds where it had been hiding and calms the thrashing waters for a few moments like the still before a storm, literally before a thundering boom and the biggest wave yet came crashing down, I hear a loud crack and stare in horror as the mast falls down in a pile of sails sending pieces of wood and debris flying in all directions. I scream out orders to the crew but no sound comes out of my mouth. I could hear the hull creaking and groaning under my feet threatening to collapse underneath us and send us all tumbling in to thrashing waves. 

I looked around, still no land in sight despite the fact that we have been sailing nonstop for almost a year now. I grip onto the bar so hard that my knuckles turned white and wish for the millionth time that the storm would finish.]]> 2017-10-31 01:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976634 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976653 The stormy sea violently tossed the helpless boat around. The silver moon peeked out from behind the clouds. Suddenly, the sea went calm. All the sailors heaved a huge sigh of relief. However, they had held their celebration too early. The sea went calm beacause a kraken was emerging from the depths below. A huge tentacle reached out and snapped the mast like a splinter. Then, the huge beast disappeared. "Tsunami!"someone yelled. A huge wave got taller and taller as it surged up behind them. As quick as a pouncing tiger, they raced away, but the wave was faster. They tried to put up some tarps to protect everyone from the water but the tsunami was too fast. The wave smashed on top of them. Everyone rode the wave frantically to the shore. Some people lost control and got drowned. Some of the survivors smashed into buildings and died. The remaining survivors rejoiced 
THE END]]> 2017-10-31 01:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976653 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976667 splinters as I tood on the weakened wooden deck the rain a whip lashing at the violently thrashing ship. It tore  through the flesh of the sails, it stung the rotted deck of the wild boat. I was thrown against the splintered walls my head hanging over the curtain of impenetrable gunmetal sea.

Blood trickled down my forehead from diminutive piercing bullets of I stumbled across the deck searching for the rest of the damaged crew. Then the creaking started. I looked up to see the mast rocking gently on the penultimate pin of wood splinters scattering across the floor. Then it dropped.

whole top half of the mast just disappeared into the floor, the sheets of sickly rain provided an invisible wall. When the profuse rain finally calmed for a moment all that could be seen was a stump where the mast used to be. For a split second I saw the tip of the crowsnest  disappear beneath the opaque sea. As I desperately searched for any remaining sailors I was thrown again at the side of the boat, the whole ship rapidly flicked in a different direction its rapid movement flinging me over the side of the ship. The manoeuvre had practically teleported me and now all I saw beneath me was coruscant sea below.Then it all went black. Nothing. Only a column of bubbles climbing to the surface, instantly this was disorienting the only way to tell me which way was up being the ever thinning rings of bubble rising from my mouth. Quickly, began swimming up but was suddenly bowled even lower into the void of water. Then the bubbles stopped.]]> 2017-10-31 01:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976667 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976676 The splintering wood creaked under my feet as I stumbled towards the edge of the boat. Sea water stung my eyes and the wind kept pushing me back. Suddenly I heard a hoarse voice call out. "Sails have been ripped!" I glanced above me and sure enough there was a gargantuan rip right in the middle of a sail. It would take a miracle for us to survive this storm now.

Waves were crashing against sending us in all different directions. Lightning flashed before my eyes and I let out a scared cry. 
The silver moon was peeking out from the clouds as if afraid to watch our boat get tormented by the ruthless waves. The Black inky water made my blood go cold, since I had no idea what was beneath the water.
 A loud clap of thunder woke me from my trance and then suddenly everything stopped. It all went silent. Too silent. Then a enormous monster of a wave
 started to rise. People started screaming and running around. Sailors were ordering people to calm down but it was impossible. Lifeboats were our only hope now. The wave, still ascending, was going to kill us all. Silently I said a prayer to my mum and dad who were on the other side of the boat. But it was too late to go to them since the wave had already began its journey towards us...]]> 2017-10-31 01:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976676 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976680 My body lurched to the side of the ship. I leaned over, facing the sapphire sea, opened my mouth and let my dinner come out. Waves crashed against the side of the ship. I zig zagged across the splintered deck. Everything was a salty blur. I was overwhelmed with the aroma of salt and barnacles. Another wave crashed against the dilapidated wreck, sending me to my knees. I was dripping in smelly sea water. I looked up. The moon was coruscating off the frothy, white water. Streaks of lightning momentarily flashed across the ash black sky. The sea was churning with water. BOOM! A crack of thunder shook the boat. A cloud wooden splinters rose from the deck. A gargantuan hole was in its place. I peeked down. It seemed to be safe down there, dark, but safe. I cautiously lowered my aching body into the hole. I sat down. Another wave crashed overhead. The boat rocked like a toy boat in a bathtub, then settled down. The wood underneath my fingers was decaying. I hugged myself, pulled my hood over my head and prepared for a rollercoaster  of a night.]]> 2017-10-31 01:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976680 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976718 The waves crashed sending the ship over the waves and throwing it back down into the darkness of the screaming sea.Down in the bottom decks off the boat were moulding hammocks were the weary old pirates were sleeping . On the open deck was a passage to the captains room. The ship wasn't the same as any old pirate ship though. It wasn't large and bulky, it was rather small.

The pirates were called into the room attached to their bedroom. The extremely small dinning room. The men sat at the wooden table as the lightning roared and created flashes of light. The moon cast a small light behind the angry grey clouds.The dinner was cold and mushy. The meal had an unpleasant odour and not a welcoming taste.

They went on as the water flowed on the the decks . The ship swayed side to side splashing salty mist into the cabins.

The ship I was on was called the rainbow unicorn. This was the opposite of that. The boat was frantically tipping sideways and lurching over the crashing waves. I violently scramble to the steering wheel. The captain had drowned. I was the only one still alive in this small, creaking, wooden boat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The sea was lit up by the half moon giving it an eerie glow. Lightning was flashing everywhere I looked. I Kew I was going to die...

All of a sudden , the waves and lightning ceased. It was back to the calm sea it used to be. I heard the sound of a ship close-by I screamed and cried until I got their attention. But as they got closer, I started to realise that maybe they weren't going to. Be my friends and rescuers, but my enemies...

About 10 seconds later, I was on the pirate ship. I was going to be their slave. One tough looking pirate carried a whip. He walked up to me. "Yeh better do what I says or you will regret it!" He said firmly while flinging his whip. I started to look around for a way of escaping this brute. I could see a hole in the wood. When the whip-guy wasn't looking, I snuck over to the hole. I got ready for my escape]]> 2017-10-31 01:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976759 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976842 Hugo Ng

The old wooden ship rocked violently on the stormy sea. The full moon high above the cowering crew members. Lightning came down from the heavens briefly filling the air with a bright light then fading away. The sky was bruised with clouds. 
The rain bucketed down and the waves grew taller than a giant, crashing into the side of the boat as if it was just a toy being flung around. The waves leapt up onto the boat and drenched the boat's deck as the crew members brave enough to leave the under deck shelter, rush back in.

The dark sea raged on and the wind howled. The wind came in gusts of salty sea air and after struggling for so long the mast snapped and hung helpless by only what seemed like a plank of wood.]]> 2017-10-31 01:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976842 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976847 The shipping wind washed away the lightning- struck ship. The avalanche of waves crashed noisily onto the disturbed surface of the water below. 

The eerie moonlight emitted from behind the dominating grey clouds, barely making it to the surface of the choppy water. The thin wispy cloud clumps were eerie ghosts in the haunted midnight moon.

The ship's once unsails was ripped off, leaving only a frayed edge of cloth remaining on the mast. The ship's lower deck was on a slant and its right side was entirely submerged. The helpless boat was a mess, it had been abandoned an hour ago, and rightly so; it was a sight for sore eyes in juxtaposition to the wrecked ship.

The salty sea in the dense damp atmosphere gave a cold disheartening welcome to any passers by. It was a place where no  one would want to be, unless of course, they were cursed like that storm and the ship...]]> 2017-10-31 01:06:26 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976847 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976858 Roraring cliffs overhung the battered ship on which Leonardo was on. Rain poured down the gaps where rats had dug holes. The only thing moving the whip was the violent waves, which made the boat rock to and fro in the churning water. The sails had already become a wreck. The freezing water made all his clothes wet. His heavy garments caused him to slump over. He lit a candle, and tried to keep it safe by putting it in a glass box and hanging it from a rusty nail that looked about to fall off. The large moon createda dim glow over him. Suddenly, a plank left the boat and water gushed in. Leonardo was going to die.]]> 2017-10-31 01:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976858 https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976912 The ship violently got thrown back as the waves crashed into it, splashing massive buckets or sea water into the boat. I stood there, waiting for my dinner to bepushed out of my stomach. My hands -which were trembling- grasped the air, struggling to get hold of a bar. My legs were frantically moving from left to right, trying to balance from the waves that were eating up the boat.

Lightning struck, causing the flammable deck to be caught on fire. Women were screaming, they jumped onto small lifeboats that could only carry up to twenty people. People from the lower decks dived into the water, climbing onto lifeboats that were already into the water. I sat down, trying to get all of this chaos in my head: there was a storm, lightning struck, so now the ship is on fire. 

"Do I get off? Am I allowed or do I go back into the dining hall to find my mother?" I questioned myself. On half of my mind was panicking and the other was still trying to work out what had happened over the last twenty minutes.

There was the smell of water that covered my nose, but didn't put out the fire. Sailors were ordering people to get into lifeboats, but some refused, not allowing their husbands to get left on the sinking boat. I stood up, knowing that my mother was probably safe. A bunch of people were evacuated from the dining hall, which included my mother. I grabbed my vomit bucket which was full with water. I splashed the water onto the fire, but I knew that the fire was overtaking the ship. We were all going to die. The ship would sink and we'd all drown.]]> 2017-10-31 01:06:48 UTC https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201976912 carole_a_brown https://padlet.com/carole_a_brown/w7uiu2p01zh7/wish/201979645 Lightning struck at the innocent waves waking them in their peaceful sleep to challenge their temper.
