Havana docks, Cuba, Caribbean, present day
It’s a peaceful, sunny day on The Silent Mary. Nobody would expect something to happen. Captain Salazar was filling papers for admirality in his quarters, as always. Meanwhile, his crew refilled food and water for another sail, except one small officer...
Officer Antonio Moss, the smallest man of Armando’s crew, was cleaning a deck and humming My Heart Will Go On, Titanic theme song. The day before he and his precious girlfriend Annabella made a romantic evening with a lot of rose petals, champagne and a movie Titanic. Moss smiled, when he remembered, what happened next. He shook his head and came back to work.
All was prepared and the crew had the last free evening before the sail. Almost every crew member went to town to get some nice chicks. However, Antonio stayed on Mary, looking at shiny stars. He couldn’t get the song out of his head. It annoyed him...but also inspired him to spread his arms, stand on a front of the ship and sing. It would almost look like as a scene with Jack and Rose, where Jack is holding Rose, while she stands on the front of Titanic, but...Dear officer lost his balance...
“You’re here, there’s nothing I feaaa - AAAAAAAAAAAH!“
Captain Salazar heard silent singing from the deck. He came out just in the moment, when Moss fell with a loud scream into a sea. Armando shook his head, consternated.
“Was the water cold, officer?”
Moss only mumbled something, probably a greeting, and quickly disappeared. Salazar looked at the sky.
Another short story, this time about the smallest officer from Armando’s crew, Antonio Moss xD the idea for this story came up, when I was collecting peanuts, listening to music and My Heart Will Go On came on shuffle. Enjoy it with a music meme I post here :)
