Olivia was standing above me so I stood up and said “Hey, how’s your head?” she just blushed and said “It’s fine thanks, I never got to thank you earlier. So I’m here to ask you to join me for dinner with my father..The captain” She just radiated with a smile “So how about it?” She put her thumb up and pulled a funny face. “Sure..Can I bring my parents?” “OOOOOH OF COURSE” she seemed very happy, wrapping her arms around my neck and hugging me “Must dash now” She skipped merrily off.
Later that day…
Sean had lived an easy life going from cruise ship to cruise ship working on boats doing general jobs he preferred the easy life he would be working in the lowest part of the ship keeping all the random objects nice and clean, he was working alone today. He preferred the lonely life though. Clack click clack a strange rhythmic noise like two claws snapping together where nearby, Sean was sure it was just things hitting the cruise ship or maybe some crabs in storage being jostled around by someone else getting more food. It started to get louder like it was looking for something too. Sean noticed a large shadow behind him he turned around hoping it was not his boss what he saw was a large silhouette that was the last thing he ever saw.

John hated what he was wearing it was too restricted. It was tight in all the wrong places Olivia did look amazing though so maybe it was worth it, a blue dress that seemed to match her oddly, they walked towards the captain’s table, Olivia put her arm through Johns this just made him stand up even straighter.
