Creative Writing: The Seahawk
Aboard the ship called the Seahawk, a series of dreadful actions took place. As I was going to get a needle for a sailor by the name of Ewing, I stumbled across a pistol while rummaging through Ewing’s chest. By the time I was leaving, I realized that there was an extra man aboard the ship. At the realization I decided there was nothing more to do than to contact the captain aboard the ship name Captain Andrew Jaggery. The captain then told the first mate, Mr. Hollybrass, to summon the crew on deck.
Captain Jaggery and Mr. Hollybrass began to arm themselves with muskets. The captain made his way to the deck with Mr. Hollybrass and I. The stowaway was easy to identify because he was armless from the last voyage where the captain abused him.

    I had the opportunity to use a fancy studio in the Lower East Side gratis recently. It happened to occur in a time when I needed to make music more than at pretty much any other point in my life. I am truly blessed with some excellent friends. It was a harrowing time. It is without question the most emotionally honest thing I have ever been involved in making. Here's the first single.…

    In a report written in 1819, the unknown author gives the reader “a brief account of the horrid massacre of the captain, mate and supercargo” that happened in July of 1816. According to this report, four crewmembers, John Williams, John Rog, Francis Frederick, and Niles Fogelgreen, led by Williams, killed the captain and the supercargo, threw the first officer overboard, and held the second officer hostage. The ship, sailing from Baltimore to Europe, had approximately 42 thousand dollars’ worth of coffee and other valuables onboard. The crew divvied up the goods and sold them in Norway, but caused too much suspicion when they next stopped in Copenhagen, so the authorities arrested them and sent them to Boston to await trial. Their trial was open to the public, and the courtroom was full of excited…

    My division was stationed in Normandy, France, at the time of the Allied invasion on June 6, 1944. Toward the end of August or early September, Canadian troops captured me near Dieppe.10 I was with a small group of men who were cut off from our main company and overrun by motorized Allied units. For several days we wandered around searching for our unit, until one night we strayed into a field camp of Canadian soldiers. You can well imagine the astonishment all around when we suddenly appeared in their midst. The Canadians didn’t have a guard posted. This was probably better for all because otherwise we might have exchanged gunfire. Instead, we peacefully turned over our weapons and in return received cigarettes.…

    About noon, on the fifth day of their journey, Charity told Uriah to stop the wagon. Looking around, Uriah did not see anything in particular that caught his attention and did not know why she wanted him to stop; as far as he could tell, there was not anything they needed there. And, his mother had not gotten off the wagon to go do her business or said anything about eating lunch. So, after bringing the horses and wagon to a complete halt, he turned to Charity and asked, “Why did you want me to stop?”…

    In the beginning, before man was created, animals of the highest status ruled over the many regions of Earth. For the water region it was Killer Whales, for the sky region it was Eagles, and for the land region it was the Wolves. Before man, wolves didn’t stay in separate packs; they were one. Out of this, there was a kind and brave leader who went by the name of Luna. She ruled justly over her people, but being a just and powerful leader has its own costs.…

    The crumbling leaves swayed, as the winter air crashed against his home. Walking towards his farm, William became uncomfortably aware of his surroundings. He grew up in this town, spending his days working and adventuring in every niche of the area. For an eighteen year old, his journey of life was monotonous.

    How could he just treat us all like we were cattle as if it was nothing? The speedometer crept up to 60 miles per hour. Didn’t he care that people everywhere were starving? How could he do this? When he was elected he promised that he would Make America Great Again. 70 miles per hour. I had to get to the rally. We needed change, we could be that change. 80 miles per hour. My thoughts were interrupted as my eyes caught the reflecting glow of red and blue lights paint the night sky behind me. Crap. I pulled over and turned off the car, ready to feed the officer behind me a great line about how my grandmother was on her death bed and wanted me and only me to be at her side. My eyes shifted and glanced to the side mirror, the officer straightened out his already tucked in uniform and smoothed his hands over his hair as he made his way from his cruiser. Great, I thought. I wonder how many reprimands this stiff is gonna write me up for. My record already had 14 points on it for picketing, 6 more and I’d be in real trouble. He knocked on the window…

    On February 13, 1929, Moran received a phone call concerning a supply of whiskey at a bargain price, and he requested that it be delivered to his warehouse (FEB 14 1929 2). The next day, Moran’s gangsters gathered at his garage at 2122 North Clark Street awaiting the arrival of Moran, Newbury, and Marks, along with their shipment. The seven men who waited patiently, Johny May, the Gusenberg brothers- Frank and Peter, James Clark, Adam Heyer, Albert Weinshank, and Reinhardt H. Schwimmer, never expected what occurred next (Boyle 3). Four men, two dressed as police officers, arrived outside Moran’s garage, entered the building. The imposters lined the men up against a wall using two twelve-gauge shot guns and two Tommys, and slayed every man inside (Eig 189).…

    When I got on the boat, I got settled into my first-class cabin. It is one of the most beautiful rooms I have been in. After I got settled in my cabin, I decided to explore the huge ship. I passed a lot of gorgeous and interesting places like the squash court, swimming pool, Turkish bath, and gymnasium, but my favorite place was the Grand Staircase. It has a glass dome over it to let the sun shine in. It was breathtaking. When I was exploring the ship, I heard someone calling my name, “Ms. Cornelia Andrews.” I turned around and it was an employee. He said that on Sunday, April 14, Captain Smith would like to invite me to dinner. Soon after receiving the message, I got hungry and decided to go get something to eat in the first-class dining room. I enjoyed a delicious ham and turkey club and met some people who I started to talk to. I talked to them until after dinner, and then decided to go to bed. I’m getting tired, so that’s all for now.…

    Charles Plumb couldn’t sleep that night as he thought about the man who possibly saved his life. He wondered if he had been nice to him when they were in the army. He was a fighter pilot and he was just an ordinary sailor so in most likelihood, he would not have thought much of the lowly sailor back then. Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor must have spent in the bowels of the ship, carefully entwining the shrouds and compacting the silks of each chute, holding in his hands the destiny of someone he didn’t know. And he was thankful that he had someone in his team who packed his parachute so well that it worked.…
