The Vanishing of the Brothers

Endless ventures over the seas and the death of numerous companions took a larger toll on Roderick Jones than he had wished.

As buccaneer he must come prepared to keep close company with death yet recent days did make his body old and his mind feeble. Thus, he decided to make these rough days come to an end and vanish from the port after one final theft.

However, this time he would dare to raid a cargo vessel of the UTE, the United Trader’s Enterprise, on land. After taking refuge from the city in a lighthouse near the Western end of the crescent shoreline, he evaded both the soldiers patrolling through the streets and ears of possible traitors and devised a plan to do the impossible:

To steal an entire ship from the very docks they surveilled with utmost care.

A Short Story possibly soon to be published.
