Okay
Hi I'm thinking of entering this In TBT writing contest do you guys think I should? ( sorry if this is in the wrong area I wasn't sure where to put it :/)
"STOP THE BOAT!" Screeched Marshal as he turned a rather unpleasant shade of green. His screaming proved futile as the little boat waded its way even further from Acorns! "Oh butt'n it ye wee landlubber, ye shouldn't have come if ye were planning to decorate the briny deep with ye breakfast!" Gulliver snapped. Marshal sank down in his seat whining, he arrived at the feet of Cookie, who proceeded to kick him away rudely.
Gulliver shook his head, clearly not amused and reluctantly turned the board around trying to ignore the moaning of Fang, Molly, and Gwen. "I don't WANT to return yet!" Groaned the pudgy purple penguin"
"This sea salt is doing wondrous things to my face! Who cares if that drama queen has a weak stomach we're all fine aren't we!" As muffled agreement rose from the inside of the boat, Alice, the mayor of Acorns spoke quickly to avoid the possible outbreak of a scrap!
"Mr Gulliver sir" she called, raising her voice so she could be heard. "How did you end up on the shore of our town in the first place?" Gulliver froze for a few moments, it was clear he was thinking immensely hard. "Well," he croaked after what seemed like an eternity. "I can only remember bits and pieces... But I think.... I was in fact punished for a bout of hearty wrongdoings...." Everybody was silent now, even Marshal had stopped cursing under his breath.
Gulliver continued. "I wasn't... The cleanest pirate in the world...." Gulliver said slowly. Cookies ears pricked up. "Well I have some soap at my house if you wanna borrow it!" she told him.
"Not that kinda clean ye bird brain!" He snapped. "I mean the way I operated wasn't always by the book, I guess ye could call me a scaly wag! But I was punished like I said earlier! One fateful day I fell off the side of me ship! I called and hollered but no soul came to me aid! Then, all of a sudden the maiden of the sea arose in front of me eyes! She told me I was a scoundrel a horrible gull, that I should be punished for me foolhardy and reckless ways! So... The Maiden put a curse upon me! She cursed me with the illness of Sea Amnesia.... Which means I will forget anyone I have met or anything I have done if I'm around the sea!" He glanced around at the shocked and perplexed expressions of his passengers."Now I knows what ye may be thinking, but I be taking a risk! Nothing has happened to me wee old brain yet and I have a feeling that nothing ever will!"
As Alice clambered off the boat, followed by Fang who carried a limp Marshal in his paws, she couldn't seem to comprehend what she had been told. Gulliver? A sea criminal? "No" She told her self. "It was just a little sea story made up to stop the fight that was about to break out!" That was it..... That HAD to be it.....
The next morning Cookie and Alice strolled down to the beach to meat Gulliver, they brought a basket of perfect apples that they could share together. They spotted him almost immediately, dancing and prancing around in the sand rather oddly. "Hey!" Called Cookie. "Lovely day ain't it!" To the surprise of Alice and Cookie, as they approached Gulliver, the snowy white seagull dropped into a courteous bow. "Ah yes, hello! he chirped. "Who are you two lovely ladies and would you be so kind to tell me, where in the world am I ?"
Please tell me what you think below !!
