Here is my (Paras) story.
As I lay in my BUNK I here the whistling and whoosing of the winds outside my window. Looking out into the waters always makes me calm. I get up out of my bunk and creep silently as to not wake the PRIVATEERS that are fast asleep. Right outside of my cabin is the QUARTER DECK, and I usually just sit there and stare out into the deep sea, and think. I then crawl up into the CROW’S NEST as it’s the most peaceful place of all. It is nearly sunrise, and I begin to think when will will arrive at the ANCHORAGE. Not soon after I see more privateers, and then I see the captain steering the HELM. He spooked me as he bellowed “LANDFALL!!!”, but I was soon quite grateful, we will be landing soon! But I spy a TORRENT, and I wonder if it will catch us. We land, and I smell the fimilair scent of SAILCLOTH and fish. We will soon be delivering our CARGO. We have finally made it to North America.
OOps…. I put that i was in P.2 But im in P.1 SRY
