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.
