WRITING OBSTACLE

Your character has been kidnaped by a pirate and trapped in a dark dungeon below deck…

How can they use their other senses to determine where their abductor is taking them?

Salty Water

The boat goes over waves

And waves


And

W


A


V

E


S

Nausea


In my stomach

The smell of rum

Disgusting

Vomit on the floor

It’s old

Determined not to again

Creeping wind, a strong breeze, perhaps a gust, maybe a storm

Storms aren’t common on my side of the ocean

Further

Across the sea

Where are they taking me?

Creak_ _



A full on storm


Perhaps a hurricane


Shakes the boat


Up and down

Maybe a centimeter of water on the floor



Panic

The boat may sink

Never figured out

Where they tried to take me

Not my proudest moment

But tongue meets water

Salty

But not as salty as it could be

Not as salty as most seas

Pride myself in knowing the taste of each sea

But that almost makes it worse

Because suddenly


I know where they’re taking me.
