The Admiral And His beloved

5

No wind. No movement. The crew lays about the deck parched
with thirst, no energy. Pintel tilts a water barrel over his
head, cracked lips waiting, waiting ... nothing.

"No water. Why is all but the rum gone?" He asks

I sat as I rose me knees up to my chest as Elizabeth did the same.Gibbs lets a final drop fall from a bottle to his lips.

"Rum's gone to..." he says

Tia Dalma and Will are at the rail.He looks at Elizabeth who was withdrawn.

"If we can not escape these doldrums before night, I fear we will sail on trackless seas, under starless skies, doomed to roam the
reach between worlds ... forever." Tia tells us

"With no water, forever looks to be arriving a mite soon." Gibbs says

"Up is down. That's maddeningly unhelpful. Why are these things never clear?" Jack says reading the chart

I stand up and walk over behind him.

"Up is down"

"Not sun-set. Sun-down. And rise ... up!" I say

I look around trying to give them a sign.I run to one end of the ship on my right.

"Over there! What's that?" I ask them trying to give them a hint of what to do

"I don't know! What do you think?" Jack says playing along

"Where?" Gibbs questions

We move to the left and suddenly everyone follows.

"There!" I point out

"What?" Elizabeth asked as we all ran back to the right

We run as fast as we can to get to each side until the boat flips over.After a while The ship began to almost flip over so we all held onto the edge of the ship.

"Now up..." I say

"Is down.." Jack continue

I look at Jack and Elizabeth as I hold my breath. We were now completely tilted down. I saw a sudden green flash from above and we slowly tilted back. Elizabeth seemed frightened as she widened her eyes and held onto me almost falling off. We were all wet and soaked with water. I tried to rub my eyes and fix my hair slightly but it was no use.
