As I sit upon my crow's nest, I search the open seas. The powerful ocean, able to swallow unwanted intruders at any time, grows angry.
Waves swell as the sun begins to fade into the blackness of the gray clouds.
The sky darkens in the east as a purple flash periodically immerses all that is in sight. A cruise ship, bouncing in the waves, floats innocently, unaware of the power of the approaching tempest. The terrible storm begins to flex its muscles. Waves are thrown up against the side of the colossal liner. Rich, spoiled passengers line up against the railing, pushing and shoving to obtain a glimpse of lightning striking the open seas.
