I wake up for another day of work. Just your average person working at a never-ending job. I fix up
my breakfast which is always cereal. I sit down and read on the newspaper. Looks like another case
of the dead on this stupid ship. I keep reading till I feel something hit my leg looks like it was my
chunky-looking dog named Terrance. Terrance and I went way back from when he saved me from a
bobcat in the vibrant Tennessee hills. I brush his fur with my hand and finish my cereal. It's sad that I
have to leave him here but I'm not even supposed to bring him here. I freshen up and put on my
sailor uniform and walk outside my room and into the hallway. I feel the waves crashing into the
boat, I always feel that uneasiness of falling down the side of the ship, but I brush it off as always. I
head to the cafeteria to meet my buddies Clint and Fonder past the huge storage containers.
"Getting seasick already?" Clint says with a laugh. "Not before you smoking every every morning."
Seeing the cigarette in his mouth. "We all need some relaxation around here especially what
happened to Fonder a weeks back." Fonder just stares in his direction, his eyes look clear but
clouded. "Anyway how far are we from porting in Luxembourg." I ask "Captain says in a few days
but a huge storm is supposed to happen on the way there so we might be delayed." I sigh and say
"Where is the captain?" " Where he always is on the side of the ship."
He says coughing on his cigarette. I leave and head to the side of the ship slowly trying to balance
between the ship and the waves crashing into it. I finally make it to see the captain looking off to
the sea, holding binoculars. "It's coming." he said before jumping off the boat.
