My world is slowing coming back into focus...aah what hit me? Everything is still fuzzy and in a haze. I start making out the shapes of human figures...their standing around me. I start focusing and I see them smiling at me for some or other reason, a few pats me on the back. What in the hell? Then I realize that I've been tied up and that I can't move my arms or legs! I struggle violently against the ropes but to no avail! Something feels wrong here but my mind is still struggling to wake up...then I look down to my clothes. It takes me a moment to figure out exactly what it is...it's a...wedding gown?!! WHAT THE HELL!!
I look up and I see a massive man standing in front of me, dressed in bright tribal clothing. He has a huge goofy grin on his face and has a flower in his hand! My jaw drops open....

Man on an island, day 377
A massive fight breaks out between us and the pirates! Nikita is dishing out a beating to two rather portly pirates, she has one in a headlock while slapping the other repeatedly through the face! John Henry is chasing one with a full bottle of rum (where he got it from is a mystery to me), stopping periodically to take a swig of the rum before chasing after the pirate again. Belatrix has flattened a few pirates by jumping on them and is happily chewing on a leg in the corner. I grab my cutlass and I lock swords with the pirate captain! We fight throughout the hull and up some steps. He is just starting to get the upper hand on me as I trip on a broken step! He puts his cutlass at my throat, ready to impale me...just then a flying bottle comes out of nowhere andstuns him for a brief second!
"Sorry lad, waste of good rum that!"
I lunge at him and I wrestle the captain to the ground, I knock him out cold with a elbow strike!
"We have to get out of here!" I shout.
We start running back to the deck of the ship when I spot the powder room...
"Hold on!"
I grab a nearby torch and I throw it into the room!
"RUN!!"
We reach the deck and dive into the dark water of the cove. We swim like mad to get away from the ship. Seconds later the ship explodes in a orange fireball! Scattering debris all over the cove!
We let out a triumphant cheer! YEAAAAAAAAAH!
"Lets head home, it's been a long day" I say as we make our way back to the beach

I run up to the torn down chain link fence and skip over it joyfully. I can't believe I found this place! There must be someone here who can take me home! I dash around an old hangar...There's something going on there! I rush closer but then something makes me stop...those people are not dressed in military uniforms and they seem to carrying torches! I sneak closer to them...they are not U.S military by any stretch of the imagination. Half of me wants to run away but the other half knows I can't pass up this opportunity, maybe they know of a way home! I'm still undecided and so deep in thought that I don't see the huge shadow appearing behind me! I swing around at the last second...too late! A massive club hits me on the side of the head and I am instantly knocked out cold! My world goes black....
Man on an island, day 377
I slowly to turn around to see who is standing behind me...its a elegantly dressed man in flowing red robes wielding a cutlass. He stands upright with his shoulders arched back and with a glimmer of a smile on his shaven face. I can immediately see that he is a class above the pirate rabble.
"So you think you can just waltz onto my ship and take my prison away from me? Granted she is damaging my employees and their moral but she is such good entertainment and oh I think I would want to keep her, even if it is just to mess with that thieving thug Moore you had stationed up in the cliffs. Bring him in boys!"
They drag a bloody and battered Henry into the hold.
"How you holding up?"
"Fine laddie but I told them to go easy on the massage! hehe" he replies.
"Who are you?" I ask, turning my attention to the elegantly dressed man.
"James Fonteinroy esquire the first, once a commander in Her majesties royal navy but now a oh how shall I say it...an entrepreneur of own employment ha ha! And these are my employees in our floating company. I will now have the pleasure to run you through and toss what's left of you three to my employees so they can at least claim some company benefits haha!"
I smile grimly. "Three? Oh you haven't met my pet yet have you? I told her to wait outside" I let out a shrill whistle and the hull door explodes as Belatrix crashes through!
All chaos erupts in the hull!

Man on an island, day 376
I see the ship's crew all gathered in the hall and their all staring at a fight going on in the middle. It's a rather haggard looking and beaten pirate against a... woman? She has long, deep brown hair and her skin is the color of light mocha. She is moving with an effortless grace as she is delivering the beating of a lifetime to the hapless pirate. He is trying to stab her with a cruel looking knife but she dances around him, skilfully avoiding him before delivering a ball shattering kick to his nether regions! Me and the other pirates wince in horrified unison.
"Which one of you purse wearing pansies is next?!" She asks while smiling. A silence falls on the room.
I clear my throat and push my way through the obviously terrified group of pirates.
"And who be you buttercup?"
"I be the rescue party ma'am" I say in wonder.
"Do I look like I need to be rescued?"
"Well the accommodation and company around here leaves much to be desired, would milady care to join me in my glorious rescue attempt?"
"And how in the name of the queen of England's balls do you think you're going to do that?" She asks with a face that has smelled sour milk
"Right through the front door" I reply
My words are scarcely cold when I feel the very sharp point of a cutlass press into my neck...
"My front door?" A raspy voice says behind me...

I'm heading down the beach in the direction of the smoke. It's not the colour of wood burning...it's much too dark for that. I hear a loud banging noise coming from the distance but I can't make out what it is yet. I slow my pace down and I start moving from rock to rock, looking around me the whole time for any sign of danger. There is something going on ahead of me... I crawl across the sand and on to a rock to see what's happening. That sound...so familiar...I close my eyes and the memories of Iraq come streaming back to me...it's gunfire!! There could be civilization just around the corner! I could be saved...I could be heading home soon!
I start running closer and closer but something primal inside me makes me stop and duck down...why are they shooting? and what are they doing here? I have to know!
I move closer and as I come around the corner I see it!
An army base!!

After a less than peaceful night's sleep, I awake to a new day in my new home. Time to make this place liveable. I set out back to the old camp site to gather the things I left there. I pass a group of bush pigs on my way there...hmm fresh meat is always good but perhaps cured meat would also help me. Something to think about later on. I start packing my belongings when I look down the beach...hmm that smoke I saw earlier is still there...a fire would have died out much earlier. I grab my weapon and bag and I set off to investigate.
