Creak,Slosh,Creak,Slosh
The old boat tipped and awayed with the salty brisk waves that smacked its old wooden sides.Slowly opening his eyes as they focused at the splitered weather wood three inches above his face.Pulling the thick tanned wool blanket back and slithereing out of his bunker cot dakota jumped down onto the soggy oak floor,grabbing his large white cotton shirt,putting it on then running up the rusty iron ladder to the deck.Beeming grey Light hit his face as he opened the latch to frigid new york air.The old maden "Lu Ann" of a small fishing boat he knew and loved as his home was now parked at the large harbor.
"Hello?"
Dakota looked around for any sailors or the captain in the seemingly silent and lifless boat."cap'n,joe...russ? anyone here?" he yelled out to his boat frantically."did i sleep through the boat porting again?!?!" he looked around still yelling even though no one could hear him. "cap'n Riley is gonna cut my pay this week for sure!"
Thump
Jumping down from the deck to the cobblestone street the led straght into the bustling city he started to run,tearing up his bare feet.Not that it mattered really,more importantly he needed that money to buy a coat and a coat or shoes for the winter.Without out that sickness and suffering would fall on him like a sack of bricks.His eyes wandered around the people walking down the streets,women with corsets and long skirts,holding lacy umberallas that keep there fair skin from the sun.Men in full suits,with vests and coats included walking down to the bars in there slacks with pride.His chests heaved and his muscles ached as he ran trying to find the crew,his body screamed in his ears to stop as his heart pound.
must.keep.going.
His feet smacked against the cold uneven road as dabs of blood left in his trail after his foot found a piece of broken gl*censored*.He stopped looking,stopped focusing on the world except what was infront of him.
Smack!
Pain stuck his shoulder and face as the pumped to the ground.His Navy blus eyes tried to focus,as he looked around dazed.He slowly stood up and looked to a girl in odd clothing sitting."oh sorreh miss i didnt see ya there i was..uh..just...trying to...find..my....crew"As Dakota spat out words between breathes."can i do anything for ya?"he looked up and down at her insane clothing "ya seem a little lost" Not to mention the fact that he was probably just a lost as she."oh uh..im dakota...by the way"He held out his hand to shake hers.
